THE LEGACY OF THOMAS COOK


Last week we talked about tourism and its main driver, THOMAS COOK, who is considered the Father of Tourism, by the fact be the first to organize a walk or a tour between Leicester and Langborough (both central cities England) for Congress against alcohol, we are talking about the year 1841.

The Boom of Mountaineering in Switzerland was one of the destinations for health tourism offering rest and Cook.

The mere fact of organizing travel for various human needs, such as recreation, where the choices are many, such as know a particular region, pilgrimage or religion, business, health, mountain adventure, beach, forest, etc ..., obtaining compensation benefits money, is a social activity called Tourism. That was our friend Thomas Cook and his time was very good.

In 1841 his inspirational journey to the congress discussed above, approximately 500 people met, ten years later organized a trip for 165,000 people to an event called the Universal Exhibition in London and five years later with a similar amount to another exhibition called Paris Exposition.

Because of these successes, in 1865, Thomas and his son John Mason Cook, formed the first travel agency called THOMAS COOK & SON.

were many places who offered, in particular Switzerland, small and beautiful country in south central Europe, which was highly prized for its natural landscapes suitable for health and relaxation, plus the emerging Climbing Boom, package tours used by Cook.

In 1865, due to high demand of visitors (tourists), he moved his office Langborough to London where he is currently the Central Agency. The following year he traveled to the United States to do business with railway companies and American tourist agents, opening-and hopefully-branches in several cities in the country.

A Type of Tourism: Pilgrimage and Religious Tourism.

Our friend Cook achieved exclusively with several countries to carry passengers as tourists even during the war enters France and Prussia, only Cook could do with tourist activities in these territories.

This innovative entrepreneur created the system PACKAGE that under DICTIONARY GENERAL TOURISM , Novo Gerardo Valencia is "travel contract entered into by one side is a travel agency and another buyer, based on a planned itinerary that combines coordinated transportation services, lodging, food and sometimes other ancillary services, all posing as a unit, according to a predetermined price ... "

Maritime Transport was the most requested by travelers worldwide.

Cook, sparkling creativity, designed the INDIVIDUAL PACKAGES , which were based on additional features make the tour and the services available according to customer needs. It's not just provide a service, is the way it offers and what it can additionally provide for customer satisfaction.

To quote an old song "It Is not What you do, it's the way you do it. "

( is not what you do, it's the way you do).

Our friend Cook, opened path to new ideas and were born many companies involved in tourism, brokers, wholesalers, carriers by land, air, sea, in order to form a whole new global economy. Thomas Cook Tourism Father died in Leicester on July 18, 1892, taking 84 years of age.

SOMETHING NEW IN TOURISM pays tribute to those visionaries who put their grain of sand to build a different world, a changing world. We do not take into account nationality, or color, no religion, no trend or way of life, the secret of peace lies in tolerance and mutual respect.

People like Thomas Cook, Father of Tourism and the same Jimmy Angel who unwittingly discovers Kerepacupay vein known as the Angel Falls , "Salto de Agua higher World ", but actually it was not he who discovered it, but a Venezuelan ten years before the American pilot. A Venezuelan, not indigenous, but we will discuss later.

SOMETHING NEW IN TOURISM want to note that this reading corner not intended to be more of what you consider to be, according to the utility that they can get these lines, only a contribution of a Venezuelan who loves this land and this land remains.

worthwhile and I hope that all who live in this wonderful country with the best wishes in this coming year and remember how to get what we want is fighting for her respecting others. Learning from Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Lobsang Rampa, Bolivar, Jesus.

CHAPTER 2 .- WHY TALK ABOUT TOURISM? CHAPTER 1 .-


" It's amazing the strength that

soul can infuse the body "

-Alexander Von Humboldt


WHY TALK ABOUT TOURISM?

's simply the most beautiful and noble of industries, not pollute, does not damage the ozone layer, no drilling or mountains, or surfaces, or use mercury to extract wealth, does not harm the environment, quite the opposite.

tourism economies rose in countries whose population is many times greater than that of Venezuela, tourism awareness, encourages the exchange of cultures and ideas of world free and open-minded, but of course, be be careful because it is not the tool, but who uses that makes or breaks.


I say this because in our country, we are still in "Kinderschuhe" , as the Germans call it, or "Diapers" , as we say in Venezuela, because we change our behavior and the way we look at some things, that is, we who live in this country, we have a lot more dedication to work with progressive spirit and mystique of what we do.

We should decree that we will do the right thing, feeling perceive and agree that we are doing and doing as they should, besides shedding low self-esteem always the order of the day, but of course, means that Venezuelans feel that self-esteem sometimes achieved subzero levels for many reasons that convulsed our country, but it is precisely where is the strength of the Venezuelan Ser. Our Liberator Simón Bolívar, God certainly does not rest, say, "God grants victory to perseverance."


On the other hand, many of us suffer from a negative derivative of the self: the self-inflated, as many call it the case that sometimes some employers abusing the tourists, the see it as a "Walking Dollar "or Dollar Andante and try to extract every last cent and the services are not commensurate with the amount they charge for it.


Some cleared, very few entrepreneurs who, in my journey through the world of tourism have known, are not aware of the importance of providing the best service and have no idea what this means, I mean that the best kind of advertising that a company can receive, in addition to reputation, depends on customer service, as this is leverage the benefits of the service received and it is worth seriously out of this country .
Specialized books for travelers as "South American Handbook", "Le Petit Futé" and "Lonely Planet" , just to mention 3 of the largest in the world, bear witness to this in their publications. In my blog that from now on I will refer to as our Blog, or links are the links to access their sites on the Internet.

Thomas Cook, considered the Father of Organized Tourism

We must be clear that tourism is a INDUSTRY , not a warehouse or a "little business." It is an economic activity with University Professionals, a law, a regulation and a series of legal mechanisms and Governing Bodies who jealously guard to be fulfilled, so we must be respectful of our GREEN INDUSTRY; in our collective historical and natural, we must preserve what we have, restore what we have damaged and, of course, depend solely on us all, society. And the Government, is other words, do their part by enforcing the law.

Many of us fans who love the tourism and members of the National Tourist System, worth mentioning, entrepreneurs, guides, operators, hotels, etc ... do not know, maybe for lack of interest, who is the FATHER OF TOURISM .

Thomas Cook & Son Travel Agency has offices in various parts of the world.

Tourism is a human need to practice, sometimes unconsciously. Before becoming a serious business, it was informal, disorganized and no one thought it could be an important economic resource, but the first person on record who thought seriously about the economic implications could be tourism, was an English businessman THOMAS COOK name, born in Melbourne, Derbyshire on 22 November 1808. One day he traveled by train to an activity of a temperance association which was one of the founders when he had that idea.

TOURISM The word did not exist TOUR BACK means, the fact of leaving home, arriving at another site for various reasons, leaving currencies (optional) and return, is a BACK is a TOUR , who practiced these "turns" is a TOURIST (tourist) and the activity is TOURISM (tourism). Then, Thomas Cook had this vision when he and his partners organized a trip in 1841 to just over 500 people at Leicester, in the south of England to hold an anti-alcohol Congress. Abstracted the concept and turned it into business.

in Canaima National Park.

This is the most accepted and widespread concept of tourism, more words fewer words. It is the concept that best fits, in fact everyone can make their own, as I did in this case, provided it fits within the reality of this activity.

addition, GENERAL DICTIONARY OF TOURISM , Novo Gerardo Valencia (Editorial Diana, Mexico) reports: "Tourism: The International Sociological Congress held in Mexico in 1965, he defined it: as a set of human interactions as transport, accommodation, services, entertainment, education, derived from transient shifting, temporary or transient population of heavy nuclei such diverse purposes, such as multiple human desires and motivations include varied ranges. Sum of relationships and benefits that derive from human movement voluntarily made on a temporary basis and for different reasons both business and professional considerations. "

In this way, we establish what is tourism, but we must be aware that the definitions are products of social, cultural and even historical and propositions that are presented as clearly and accurately as possible the generic characteristics or differential a thing, fact, phenomenon, material or immaterial, so the concept must be by its very nature, exposed to change to meet the constant changes. For this reason, we make clear that you can improve and develop herein.

SOMETHING NEW IN TOURISM as specialized reading corner, has among its objectives to inform, educate, recreate, discuss, reflect and not just treat the aspect of tourism in 'pink' that are used, ie that if "this place is beautiful, visit it, this waterfall is or is not, if this or that ...", but to discuss real events that affect tourism in this or that region, the who, what, how, where, when and why of things that drive tourism.

subjects like social, cultural, historical, characters in a given location, geology and other scientific aspects of an area of \u200b\u200binterest, legends, anecdotes, reflections, constructive criticism on our society, values \u200b\u200bthat are still preserved and they are missing.
