'From the footsteps of Herodotus to the vapour trails of jetsetters, Eric G. E. Zuelow succinctly guides readers through centuries of human travel. His brisk narrative unpacks how tourism industries and the pursuit of leisure created the modern world.' - Anthony Stanonis, Queen's University Belfast, UK 'Eric G. E. Zuelow offers a narrative as enriching and engrossing as the Grand Tour, but in a manner as accessible as a Cook's tour. Surveying the long history of travel, he captures nuance and detail with literary elan. Whether on a beach or a train, in a library of a classroom, it will greatly reward all who read it.' - Kevin James, Univesrity of Guelph, Canada 'A History of Modern Tourism [...] is a readable account of how tourism has developed since The Grand Tour of the 18th century. It looks at movers and shakers in the tourism sector [...] and at how the industry has shaped globalisation and the modern world.' - Adam Nebbs, South China Morning Post
