Read the text about the first package tours. Decide if the following statements (1-10) are True or
False.
Statements
1 Travel was very expensive before the middle of the nineteenth century.
2 Thomas Cook was a travel agent in 1841.
3 The first public trip was in 1845.
4 The Great Exhibition was in Liverpool.
5 The first trip outside Britain went to France.
6 In 1866 he opened an office in London.
7 Some tourists wanted to visit the Civil War battlefields.
8 The Cooks stayed in hotels in the Holy Land.
9 The traveler’s cheque allowed people to travel without large amounts of
cash.
10 Thomas Cook died in 1891.
These days, most people choose a package tour, especially when they go abroad on holiday.
They pay for their travel and accommodation in their own country and they take traveler’s cheques which
they exchange for local money when they arrive in the foreign country. But in the past it was very
different. In fact, before the middle of the nineteenth century travelling for pleasure was rare and very
expensive, and only a few rich people travelled abroad. The man who changed all this and brought in the
age of mass tourism was Thomas Cook.
Thomas Cook was a printer in Leicester, England and the secretary of a local church
organization. In 1841 it was his job to arrange rail travel for members of his church to a meeting in
Loughborough a round trip of twenty-two miles. This was the world’s first package trip. After this first
success, he organized many more for his church. Then in 1845 he advertised a package tour to Liverpool
for the general public, and before it took place he went to Liverpool to meet the hotel staff, and check the
accommodation and restaurants.
He then started to organize trips all over Britain, including the Great Exhibition in London. In 1851
he published the world’s first travel magazine which had details of trips, advice to travelers and articles
and reports about the places to visit.
In 1855 he took his first group of tourists to Paris and later that year led a tour of Belgium,
Germany and France. The following year he opened an office in London, which his son John Mason
managed. They introduced a circular ticket, which gave the traveler a single ticket to cover one journey
instead of a number of tickets from all the railway companies involved.
In 1866 the first group of European tourists visited New York and the Civil War battlefields of
Virginia. In 1868 the Cooks went to the Holy Land with tents because there were no hotels there at that
time.
It was dangerous to carry large amounts of cash, so in 1874 Cook introduced an early form of
traveler’s cheque, which travelers could cash at a number of hotels and banks around the world.
Thomas Cook died in 1892 at the age of 84. The age of the package tour and mass tourism was
born.
