Thomas Cook highlights responsible tourism
Laptop Battery Thomas Cook's newest Summersun and Tropical Shores brochures, describing its holiday programmes for the rest of 2006 and 2007, specifically highlight hotels with 'responsible tourism' policies.
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.
Thinkpad The brochures provide at-a-glance logos on hotel pages highlighting hotels that have special facilities for children, adults, celebrations, all-inclusive holidays etc, but the latest addition for the new brochures is a green 'responsible tourism' logo.
