Holiday Travel is the moving movement of individuals between different distant geographical areas. Holiday Travel can either be one way, or between many destinations, and is often done by foot, car, plane, train, boat or other modes, with or without additional luggage. It is not a destination; rather it is a temporary location for a vacation. Holiday Travel may be for a weekend, a week or a month.
The earliest known holiday travel dates are from around 6000 B.C., thanksgiving. The first modern Thanksgiving travel tradition is the Pilgrims’ journey across the Delaware River on the Mayflower. Europeans would take annual trips south to visit their friends and relatives, thanksgiving, until the early nineteenth century. In addition, the ancient Egyptians holiday of the New Year’s, began around this time. Finally, thanksgiving was replaced with Samhain, the Celtic summertime celebration of hell, which may have been as old as twelve thousand years.
