WHERE DID IT ALL START??
Traveling has been a form of understanding, curiosity, as well as a means of a get-away. It is not exactly defined how and where it all started. Not only humans are subjects to these specific phenomena, animals were also related to it since the dinosaurs’ times. Scientists have discovered the fossils of the same species of dinosaurs from one region to another. It has been proven that even before the human age; dinosaurs had also experienced such movement from one’s place to another’s. Up till this day, animals as well as plants have played a part in traveling. Simple as that, plants have the ability to move or be moved by a second party, it could be the wind, water or even animals.
Not only scientifically, religious studies have also mentioned traveling being present in the Holy Bible, Qur’an and in the Buddhist scripture. The studies are concerned with the movement of how humans began to settle from one place to another in order to prevent much conflict and to survive.
As inscribed in the Holy Bible, Adam and Eve were exiled from the Garden of Eden and they traveled on their own freewill and were the parents of all humankind. Thus, the descendants of Adam and Eve walk on this earth but they are not allocated at one place, disputes and conflicts made ways for the different paths created by humans. Even Jesus Christ and his followers traveled from one corner to another in Israel to spread the words of God. In the Buddhist Scriptures, Gautama Buddha traveled from his kingdom and made his way to a place near Bodh Gaya in India, where he found a suitable site for meditation. The Qur’an also mentions that, every year, Muhammad used to leave Makkah to spend Ramadan in the cave of Hiraa where he used to meditate and worship for self-purification. Religion is also the reason behind traveling from one place to another. These messengers of God were spiritual beings who are idols to many believers, up till this date people travel from one end of the world just to visit these messengers.
Although these days we see a lot of tourists from different countries and religions, it is not hard to notice that they are mostly the Westerns. We may even be curious about the fact that they are able to spend such money and time traveling when they should be busy working to make a living. According to history, the Americans and other Westerns discovered electricity, airplane and transportation; cars, train, buses etc. Such Inventions took their economy to heights and gave them the large amount of disposable income to splurge on luxurious vacations. Moreover, the airplane invented by the Wright brother in the early 20th century, 1903, astounded everyone; poor people, rich people, and especially the middle-class people. Usually it was fairly costly and only upper-class people could afford it. But as flights became more common, prices fell, and it almost reached a point where upper-middle class people could afford flights.

Travelling is a new phenomena. Tourism is the most recent and significant phenomena of the modern world. When people learn to differentiate between work and leisure, then tourism starts.
The word tourism did not appear in the English language until the early 19th century. Derived from the French word 'tourism'. The literal meaning is 'the practice of touring or travelling'.
