From Traveler to Tourist Sometime past the middle of the nineteenth century, as the Graphic Revolution was getting under way, the character of foreign travel -- first by Europeans, and then by Americans began to change. This change has reached a climax in our day. Formerly travel required long planning, large expense, and great investments of time. It involved risks to health or even to life. The traveler was active. Now he became passive. Instead of an athletic exercise, travel became a spectator sport. This change can be described in a word. It was the decline of the traveler and the rise of the tourist. There is a wonderful, but neglected precision in these words. The old English word as “travail” (meaning “trouble,” “work,” or “torment”). And the word “travail,” in turn, seems to have been derived, through the French, from a popular Latin or Common Romanic word “tripalium,” which meant a three-staked instrument of torture. To journey -- to “travail,” or (later) to travel -- then was to do something laborious or troublesome. The traveler was an active man at work. ~ Page 297
