Did you know?
The concept of tourism as a mass phenomenon began in the 19th century with the expansion of railways, which made travel affordable for the middle classes for the first time. Thomas Cook organised the first commercial package tour in 1841 — a train journey of 11 miles in England.
Today, English is the dominant language of international travel and tourism. Airport announcements, hotel check-ins, and tourist information are almost universally available in English, making it the most practical language for global travellers.
