In 1841, one train journey changed tourism forever: How modern holidays began

This trip aimed to take temperance campaigners to an anti-alcohol rally and cost only one shilling. Cook’s approach transformed travel for ordinary people, initiating mass tourism, despite his background and early challenges. Over the years, his company expanded internationally and adapted to growing consumer needs.
