英语词汇cook-s tour的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Cook’s tour. Cook’s tours were invented by English travel agent and former missionary Thomas Cook, who founded the venerable Thomas Cook & Son travel agency in 1841. His first tour was a railroad excursion to a temperance convention, for which he charged a shilling a head. Cook’s first grand tour of Europe, which he organized in 1856, was more expensive, and its excellent organization, along with the high quality of tours to follow, made Cook’s tour the byword for any complete, well- organized travel tour. So reliable was the agency that the British government hired it to convey General Gordon and his troop- ers to the Sudan in 1884, making it probably the only travel agency ever to accommodate an army.
