4 How tourism evolved Agenda for today

5 Early travel Initially travelling was important to find food or even travel to escape danger. Ancient people were also travelling for trade. Cities along rivers encouraged water travel. These early travellers were travelling on foot to small geographical distances. Travellers were also climbing mountains and crossing rivers to satisfy their own sense of adventure and curiosity.

6 The Egyptians Were the first who organized cruises. The first journey for Tourism was made by Queen Hatshepsut to the land of Punt in 1480 B.C. Early Egyptians started the trait of purchasing souvenirs from the places they visit. Around 2700 B.C, the Pharaohs began building the pyramids. They were also the fists who started celebrating festivals.

7 The Babylonians (Sumerians) They invented money and developed trade (around 4 th century B.C). They also invented writing and the wheel. Babylonians can be considered as the founders of the travel business.

8 First Voyage around the World Use of Early Roads Mesopotamian roads were mainly paved dirt roads. The island of Crete had better roads The Romans developed roads mainly for military use and covered most of their empire. (some of these roads are still in use)

9 The Silk Road The fabled road where the east met the west. A trade route where states along this route traded. Silk was not the only thing traded there. Some sections were directions across trackless steppe or desert rather that visible paths.
