Description
While travel has always been a feature of Western life, especially when undertaken for practical purposes, the idea of travel as an important component in the development of the cultured mind is a much more recent development. In his "copiously illustrated" presentation, Douglas Murray will examine both the causes and implications of this change which paved the way for the growth of the multi-billion dollar tourist industry today.
