 Tourism
Tourism in the modern sense of the word did not develop until the nineteenth century; that was leisure travel, which today forms the larger part of the tourist industry.

The father of modern mass tourism was Thomas Cook[?] who, on July 5, 1841, organised the first package tour[?] in history, by chartering a train to take a group of teetotalers from Leicester to a rally in Loughborough[?], some twenty miles away.
