A week on a beach, a day at a spa, a hike in the hills -- tourism
is taken for granted today, but over the past 500 years, it has
played a significant role in the shaping of modern Britain.
Holidays were once effectively limited to a handful of wealthy
people, but by the 20th century a day at the seaside had become
almost universal. In the process quiet villages have becoming busy
spa towns, new resorts have been created around Britain's coast and
largely unspoilt areas of the countryside have had to cope with the
increased mobility of the population. Some places have become
wholly reliant on tourism as their primary industry, and with
changes in popular tastes in recent years this has created problems
for some communities. Tourism and the Changing Face of Britain
traces the story of tourism in Britain from the Middle Ages to the
present day. It stretches from a time when travel was by horse or
coach to the modern era where cheap air travel can take
holidaymakers anywhere, including far from Britain's shores. The
book shows how holidays, and the pursuit of leisure, have created
destinations, sometimes whole towns and even had an impact on the
countryside. This wide ranging study examines topics such as
pilgrimages, spas, seaside holidays and the discovery of Britain's
past, present and future.
