When did tourism originate from human society?

First of all, we must understand the definition of tourism. Tourism refers to people temporarily leaving their place of life and work to stay in another place for a short time, and it refers to people's activities during their stay at the destination.

If we want to trace the origin of tourism, we should start from the ancient legendary times, from the Yellow Emperor traveling around the world to understand the local customs, to the West Queen Mother in the west of Zhou, and then to the philosophers traveling around the world in the Spring and Autumn Period. These are the primitive forms of tourism.

Therefore, the origin of tourism should have existed in ancient times of human society.
