The best video Beach Seaside

The seaside resort and beach holiday, in their various guises, played a central role in the development of tourism as a great international industry, agent of economic and social transformation and depositor of deepening environmental footprints across the globe. Just as factory industry, steam power, modern means of transport and other innovations of the Industrial Revolution era trace their origins to developments in Britain, and the emergence of sport as a global economic and cultural phenomenon has its roots in the transformation of (especially) association football and golf into growing local, national and international businesses from the late nineteenth century, so modern tourism is another familiar set of phenomena that, for better and worse, the British gave to the world. The tentacles of the global tourist industry now embrace phenomena like sport and nostalgia for industrial pasts, but the seaside resort remains at the core of its imagery, both contemporary and historical. It also makes use of sport, nostalgia and other colours from the broader tourism palette to broaden its own appeal. The nostalgia dimension is fitting, given that it all began in Britain, in that eighteenth century that also saw the origins of the more conventional Industrial Revolution, although, as with so many other innovations the British gave to the world, the Romans had already been there nearly two millennia earlier. Even as the rise of the Atlantic economy and of Britain's pretensions to dominate sea-borne trade helped to usher in the heyday of the British Empire, so the British seaside grew in parallel and spread across the globe, impelled in part by demand from expatriate Britons but increasingly gathering a momentum of its own as, like football, it adapted to new cultures and mutated in line with their expectations and preferences.
