ESF Exploratory Workshop - HUM (formerly SCH)
Convened by: Gijs Mom (NL)
Location: 11-13 June 2009, Helmond, Netherlands
Keywords
international travel history; 'package' tourism; regions; identities; resorts
Summary
This proposal begins to rectify historians' neglect of the development, since the 1930s, of international European bus and coach travel, in conjunction and competition with other transport modes. It lays the groundwork for research on vehicle manufacture, road infrastructure, traffic flows of migrants and tourists, route and destination patterns, the direction of the traveller's 'gaze', and the travel experience, looking at individual countries as well as Europe as a whole.
