PERIEGETISM, TOURISM AND TRAVEL MOTIVATION THROUGHOUT THE CENTURIES

Maria Manola, Stylianos X. Koufadakis, Maria Sapountzaki

Abstract


This study aims to capture the main definitions found in academic studies of tourism, and mainly to attempt a historical review of the concept of travel and tourism as forms of human mobility, from a time when transport systems were limited, to modern times. The travel motives of people since ancient times, the reasons-causes of human mobility during the history of the civilizations of the Mediterranean, Asia, Egypt, Rome and Greece, as well as accessibility, as a factor in the choice of a destination, are topics that are analyzed in the context of the interaction between the aforementioned concepts.

Keywords
