Wales Tourism and Visit Planning

First issued by Thomas Cook to promote his trips to London's Great Exhibition in 1851, Cook's Excursionist provides page after page of detailed itineraries, fares, lists of hotels and Cook's offices, testimonial letters, accounts of tours, advertisements and editorial comment. The monthly issues of this publication, which was eventually issued in 13 separate editions around the world, document not only the expansion of Thomas Cook's business but also the early development of tourism itself. As such, this is probably the most important collection in the Archives.
