Abstract
This article provides an overview of the historiography of tourism in Britain, covering the period from the heyday of the Grand Tour and the rise of the spa towns in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, through the rise of the seaside holiday and the «romantic tourism» based on countryside, mountains and historic cities in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, to the heyday and decline of the British seaside in the twentieth century, the rise of the Mediterranean and long-haul package tour after the Second World War, and the issues raised by the development of what might be seen as new versions of «heritage» and «theme-park» tourism in the late twentieth century. Concepts such as «mass tourism», the «tourist gaze» and the «heritage industry» are discussed critically, as are issues such as the role of Thomas Cook and the validity of the «resort product cycle».
