Brief History of Lodging Industry

According to the historians, the origin of the lodge
is not very clear. However, it believes that the
Christian bible cites Christ’s birth in the first of an early
inn. Between the 11th and 13th centuries knowing as
taverns (inns) serviced the travelers on the roads of the
Roman Empire. Providing service to the relatively large
number of Crusaders. The traditional formula of an "Age
Faith", providing we remember that the Middle Ages were
many other things as well. Those of us who are fascinated
by the growth of national cultures and their contribution to
the composite pattern of Western civilization cannot fail to
notice that Europe was born in the Middle Ages. The word
of Christ, coming from Jerusalem, added prestige to the
Asiatics provinces of Roman Empire. At the opening of
Middle Ages, however, the Germans overthrew the Roman
barrier which had been cutting Europe in two. Sooner a
number of missionaries, soldiers and merchants began to
fan out toward the outlying of the European north and
northwest. That is in fact, made it, and the Middle Ages,
great.
Men are the basic raw material of history. What
matters, however, is the way raw material is put to use.
Commerce among the various sections became the leading
force in economic development. Industry made slower but
significant gains. The foundations of modern banking,
public finance and accounting were laid. Economic growth
and intellectual achievements proceeded side by side,
lending support to each other. The Middle Ages spreading
literacy among commoners, and trained physicians, lawyers
and thinkers in the first universities; medieval traders and
preachers ventured all the way of China and tropical Africa.
Commercial travel in Europe was an outgrowth of British
commerce, which carried over to the American colonies in
the 1700’s.
Mass tourism is a modern phenomenon that appears
after World War II. Recently it is continues to grow as
political freedom, economic resources, and social equality
extend across the globe. With the large powers at peace and
the economic engine of development running at full steam,
international travel and, therefore the hotel industry are

poised for decades of growth. Estimates abound as to the
importance and size of hotel keeping. Certainly, their
economic contribution is critical to the global Economy
whether as destination for tourism development.
The father of modern mass tourism was Thomas
Cook who, on 5 July 1841, organized the first package tour
in history, by chartering a train to take a group of
temperance campaigners from Leicester to a rally in
Loughborough, some twenty miles away. There had been
railway excursions before, but this one included entrance to
an entertainment held in private grounds in the price. Cook
immediately saw the potential of a convenient 'off the peg'
holiday product in which everything was included in one
cost. He organized packages inclusive of accommodation
for the Great Exhibition, and afterwards pioneered package
holidays in both Britain (particularly in Scotland) and on
the European continent (where Paris and the Alps were the
most popular destinations). He was soon followed by others
(the Polytechnic Touring Association, Dean and Dawson
etc.), with the result that the tourist industry developed
rapidly in early Victorian Britain. Initially it was supported
by the growing middle classes, who had time off from their
work, and who could afford the luxury of travel and
possibly even staying for periods in boarding houses.
