Long before jumbo jets and cruise ships, people would walk, ride horses, or sail small boats just to explore the world. Early tourism was about survival, trading, or even paying respect to the gods!

In Ancient Egypt, wealthy travelers visited pyramids and temples, riding boats on the Nile River. They were some of the first 'sightseers' in history!

During the Greek and Roman Empires, people began traveling for sports and culture. They attended the Olympics in ancient Greece and shows in grand Roman amphitheaters.

The Middle Ages saw pilgrims traveling long distances to visit sacred sites. These journeys were often tough, but the pilgrims’ faith kept them moving.

In the Age of Exploration, ships sailed to discover new lands! Brave explorers traveled across the oceans, opening up the world for future travelers.

As the Industrial Revolution began, inventions like trains and steamboats made travel faster and cheaper. Tourism became an exciting adventure for more people.

In the 20th century, airplanes revolutionized tourism, allowing people to explore far-away places in just hours instead of weeks!

Modern tourism now includes eco-travel, space travel, and even virtual tourism with technology. The opportunities feel endless!

Today, tourism helps people understand different cultures and protect amazing landmarks while reminding us to travel responsibly and care for our planet!

The future of tourism depends on you! Where will you travel and explore next? Remember: every journey teaches us something new. Adventure awaits!
