Hans Christian Andersen and Europe
Travel: Then and Now
The subject may very well be related to Hans Christian Andersen who was a typical traveller of his time -but it is not necessary to involve him as a person in this subject.
We suggest that a study is made of the ways of travel in the past, as described in contempora literature; that newspapers with articles and adverts on travelling from that time are procured -and that these are seen in relation to the present day.
It should be mentioned that the Englishman, Thomas Cook, in the 19th century was the first to arrange extensive conducted tours which can to a certain degree be compared with the charter tourism of today.
The concept “traveller” can be compared with “tourist” -the traveller lives in the country he/she has arrived in and takes part in its daily life. The tourist, on the other hand, lives in isolation in holiday resorts, maybe participating in pre-arranged, guided tours.
How will travel to other countries be in the future? We merely offer this subject as an idea and an inspiration but hope to return to it at a later date.
