Thomas Cook
Toured European cities
Pioneered all the common services that travel agencies undertake for the passenger today:

Founded modern travel methods
Air Travel
It also became affordable

So when we wonder why we travel, and where it all started, it might be comforting to think about our predecessors, and how they moved first out of necessity, then for religion, migration, emigration, commerce, enlightenment and finally for pleasure.
Today each of our personal reasons may vary, but one thing is certain: there will never be rest for a species that can only move, move and keep moving.
To infinity and beyond...
Well we have only gown to the moon.
