Who is the father of tourism?

On July 5th, 184 1, Thomas Cook chartered a car to transport as many as 570 tourists from Leicester in the middle of England to Labafleur, with a round-trip fare of 1 1 mile. The tour fare was one ticket per person. Free lunch and snacks with ham and meat are provided, followed by a band praising the poet.

This activity occupies an important position in the history of tourism development. The activity organized by Thomas Cook was recognized as the first commercial tourism activity in the world, so he himself became the founder of travel agency. It is the first group tour organized by train and the beginning of modern tourism activities.
