THE ELITIST TOURIST AS A PRIVILEGE

Modern tourism was born in the eighteenth century when the

Industrial Revolution allowed the emergence of a kind of
leisure/free time (Aristocracy, large owners who could live on
rents).
It is progressively moving from an elite tourism to an individual
tourism.
Practiced by an elite class that had money and time.
Tourism practiced as a symbol of ostentation.
Different types of tourism practiced: thermals, winter stays in
sunny countries.
• The precedent of international modern tourism was the
Grand Tour of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries

GRAND TOUR.

and with position) with the aim of maintaining relations between the
various European societies and obtaining a classical formation.

Elite tourism is affected by the crises of the 29th to the 32nd century.
Since the end of the Napoleonic Wars there has been an emergence of
new classes of international travelers formed by people of the

FROM ELITIST TOURIST TO MASS TOURISM.

the interest of tourists towards new resources and new
tourist places (Alps, Mediterranean coasts: French-Nice
Riviera, Monte Carlo).

liberal professions, business managers, great officials.

The example of this tourism of the early twentieth century

becomes a right to claim. In this way a struggle for free time
emerges which becomes a goal for the proletariat and the
workers.
