| dc.description.abstract | Demand for domestic and international travel has been increasing
rapidly among the British population over the last half-century. From the
summer season attractions ofseaside resorts in the 1950s to modern gap
year trav-ellers, silver surfers and every conceivable business, leisure,
recreational and social pursuit, Britons are on the move, around the
world, 365 days a year. The story oftourism in Britain is one of
remarkable, some would say revolutionary, growth. Chapter 3 offers
evidence that there has been at least a tenfold increase in the volume
oftourism since the late 1940s. | en_US |
