Defining a linear history of open-air tourism is no easy task. Its origins usually trace back to the nomadic roots of human dwelling, continuing through the spread of leisure homes and the concept of the “educational journey.” However, it’s possible to identify key milestones that highlight its evolution.

That’s why the stories in this book start from the study of real events, then delve into themes such as the universal desire for adventure, the connection with nature, organized holidays with friends, and finally, the quality of outdoor living.

Why Thomas Hiram Holding?

The guide on this journey into nature could only be Thomas Hiram Holding, recognized as the world’s first official amateur camper. Holding was a true pioneer of the open-air travel and tourism experience.
