Ancient Romans invented leisure travel. They built 50,000 miles of roads and established inns every 30 miles. Wealthy Romans traveled to summer villas in Pompeii and Baiae. They visited the Egyptian pyramids as tourists — graffiti from Roman tourists has been found carved into ancient monuments. Travel has come a long way since its origin with wealthy Romans. Happy travels — enjoy this curation!
