This book analyzes the roots of one of the main human activities
that can be developed in natural and agricultural ecosystems:
tourism. Attention to natural and agricultural ecosystems and their
conservation has intensified in recent decades, responding to
increasing social sensitivity to the environment, as also witnessed
by Agenda 2030. The book explores the development of tourism in
natural and agricultural ecosystems in the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries, when some of its essential features derived
from the practices of exploration, scientific study, business,
healing practices, and also a desire for personal growth. This
research is intended to open up international scholarly debate and
discussion and draw in contributions from all disciplines and
geographical areas. In addition, it intends to add an important
piece to the mosaic of international literature that has rarely
considered the origins of nature and rural tourism in an array of
practices not always embodying a stated intent of recreation. This
book is based on handwritten documents and travelogues circulating
during the period in question. Most of the travel experiences
analyzed regard men and women of European descent, but their
travels were global, with ecosystems considered on all populated
continents. This volume is essential reading for students and
scholars alike interested in tourism history and the history of
science and travel.
