Hundreds of years age. A young man from Venice named Marco Polo set out with his father for China, and his writings opened the Far East to Europeans of his time.

The travel industry is organized to meet these concerns in a variety of ways;travel agents and tour companies, transport companies, hotel arrangement and restaurant reservation systems, and local of national tourism boards.
4 The age of international travel was revolutionized on Oct. 26, 1958, when Pan American World Airways flew a Boeing 707 jet airplane from New York City to Paris with 123 people on board. Jets cut long-distance air travel time in half. In the following decades, the airline industry expanded greatly and used a variety of airplanes.
