What is Grand Tourism?
The origin of current tourism is said to be Britain's "Grand Tourism'' in the 18th century.
Tourism in this era was a time when the steam engine had not yet been invented, so there were no steam locomotives or cars (the invention of the steam locomotive gave rise to the modern image of mass tourism).
Therefore, sightseeing at that time was mainly done by horse-drawn carriage or on foot. You might think that it would not be possible to travel very long distances if you mainly traveled by horse-drawn carriage or on foot, but at the time, the Grand Tourism of England was mainly a journey from England across the sea to France and Italy. The travel periods were long, ranging from two months to several years.
