After entering the slave era, what factors promoted the formation of tourism during the Roman Empire?

Answer The rise of tourism in Rome is because the basic conditions for the development of the industry are in place.

The first is the material basis.

In ancient society, Rome's wealth was unique and certainly second to none. Relying on long-term conquests, citizens accumulated a large amount of wealth. Crassus, Pompey, Cicero, Caesar, Brutus... all of these celebrities were extremely wealthy. After Octavian conquered Egypt, the wealth of this wealthy eastern country was continuously transported to Rome. Persia and India also provided the Roman Empire with rich and diverse materials and money. The concept of money first dominated the government and the public, and the good emperor Trajan , Hadrian, Aurelius, etc. all had huge mines and factories. Many of the richest people during the empire were ordinary people rather than nobles and senators. This is one of the reasons why tourism has become an activity that ordinary people can afford. It is natural for some of them to choose to spend their spare time traveling.

The second is the improvement of the cultural taste of the Romans.

The early Romans were outright bandits, and the famous painting "The Women of Pensa" reflects one aspect of their collective existence and propagation through burning, killing, and looting. The Romans were simple-minded, well-developed limbs, strong-willed, and had a simple diet. They frowned and reluctantly ate meat only when vegetarian food was not available. With the expansion of the conquered area, especially after the annexation of Greece, the Romans saw art, music, drama, and enjoyment. Many people were educated in culturally developed areas such as Athens, Alexandria, and Damascus. There were many Greek scholars active in Rome. .

The third is developed transportation.

The close relationship between tourism and transportation needs no explanation. Rome's transportation is known as "all roads lead to Rome". The rules in Rome are that you can drive at night and only walk during the day, but for long trips out of Rome, you can take a stagecoach or horseback. The Via Praetoria extends in all directions and has excellent construction quality (some of which are still in use today). The bridges and piers are benchmark buildings in the Roman era. Under such good traffic conditions, the journey speed is very fast. For example, when the courier reported Nero's death to Galba, he rode 332 miles in 36 hours.

Since the ancient Western world was included in the territory of the Roman Empire, the preference for travel and adventure, and seeing all over the world, has gradually become a more common hobby among Westerners since then. This is still the case.
