Tourism During the Industrial Revolution 17th to 18th

wealth, the creation of a large and prosperous middle

working class to find relief from their work, and the
desire for relaxation and adventure.

Origin of Tourism in the Philippines Tourism in the

Philippines began when the original inhabitants of the
country roamed around in search for food.
Inter-tribe travel occurred although mode of travel was

Origin of Tourism in the Philippines
A more recognizable form of tourism appeared in the
Philippines when the country was discovered by
Ferdinand Magellan and when galleons or wooden boats
sailed between Mexico and the Philippines during the
galleon trade.
Before World War II, there were no statistical data
available, hence, it was difficult to determine tourist
activities.
In 2012, the Philippines recorded 4.27 million tourist
arrivals, after the Department of Tourism launched a
widely publicized tourism marketing campaign titled "It's
More Fun In the Philippines".
The hospitality industry is a broad group of businesses
that provide services to customers. The industry can be
broken down into three basic areas: accommodations,
food and beverage, and travel and tourism. All of these
areas are customer-focused, but they sometimes provide
different levels of service. Hospitality is an industry
that includes restaurants, hotels, casinos, amusement
parks, events, cruises, entertainment, and other tourism-
related services. As such, this industry isn't just important
to businesses but also to customers, employees, and
economies.
Hospitality means extending a welcome to travelers or

offering a home away from home, and the word is derived
from the Latin word “hospes” meaning visitor or stranger.
The ancient history of the hospitality industry began in
15,000 BCE with the Lascaux caves in France which were
developed to accommodate members of other tribes. In
classical antiquity we learn about Greek and Roman spas
popular for those seeking rest and relaxation. The
French Revolution marked the early beginning of the
hospitality we know today. It was the period of the 16th
century when the demand for inns and taverns increased
multiple fold. The first hospitality establishment as a hotel
was built around this time. In fact, the concept of
hospitality is extremely old and is mentioned in writings
dating back to Ancient Greece and Rome. The thought
then was that hospitality to strangers was necessary to
their religious wellbeing and in others. Some also
believed that being hospitable would satisfy their own
superstitious fears.
The hospitality industry is a part of a larger enterprise

known as travel and tourism industry. The travel and
tourism industry is a vast group of business with one goal
in common providing necessary or desired services to
travelers. Advances in transportation enabled more people
to travel greater distances atless cost spreading tourism
across the globe. From modest origins, hospitality and
tourism rose to become two of the largest worldwide
industries. Hospitality refers to the relationship between a
guest and a host, wherein the host receives the guest with
goodwill, including the reception and entertainment of
guests, visitors, or strangers. The Latin word 'Hospital'
means a guest-chamber, guest's lodging, an inn.
GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE HOTEL
INDUSTRY AROUND THE WORLD Warriors or
traders were the early travelers but they did not have
hotels to accommodate them. The warriors used tents but
the merchants seeking to trade tools, clothing and
livestock, traded merchandise for lodging. The inns
offered little more than a cot or a bench in the corner of a
room or a stable. Most of them were private residences
that offered temporary residence or lodging to strangers.
Guests stayed in large communal rooms where sanitation
and privacy were non-existent. After the establishment of
money in 6th century BC, inn keeping was one of the first
commercial enterprises and hospitality was one of the first
services for which money was exchanged.
Rooms had to be shared with other travelers. These early
European inns were unsuitable for aristocrats. To
accommodate wealthy travelers, luxurious structures were
erected. These offered private rooms, individual sanitation
and all comforts of a European castle. These elegant new
establishments adopted the French name for mansion,
‘hotel’. The rates they charged were very high and well
beyond the means of common citizens. In colonial
America, inns were modeled after European inns. Beds
and rooms had to be shared with strangers. Throughout
1800s, American innkeepers improved their services and
continued to build larger properties.
Most of these were located in seaport town since sea
transport was very widely used mode or travel and
transport then. The first American hotel the ‘City Hotel’
opened in 1794 in the New York City. It was one of the
largest buildings in the city and was built exclusively for
hotel purpose. It had 73 guest rooms. ‘Adelphi Hotel’ in
New York was the first high-rise structure in the city. In
1829, a large new hotel was constructed in Boston.
‘Tremont House’ was the earliest first class hotel in
America and brought revolution in the hospitality industry.
This hotel was the first to offer private rooms with
locking doors. Each guest room had a wash basin and a
water pitcher and a bar of soap. Other innovations
included a full time service staff, a French restaurant
which was located in the lobby, etc. These American
hotels became important social centers and unlike their
European counterparts, welcomed anyone who could
afford the reasonable rates. Meanwhile in Europe, sanitary
lodging continued to be regarded as a privilege to be
enjoyed only by the aristocracy. But in democratic
America clean and comfortable accommodation was
available to any middle class worker or family.
