ABSTRACT

The period of the 1930s and 1940s is significant in terms of travel and tourism. The research discussed in this chapter investigates holidays and travel in the 1930s and 1940s, an era of economic depression followed by the restrictions of wartime and austerity. The accounts written during the Second World War provide interesting examples of holidays obviously affected and restricted by events, but show that domestic tourism was still highly valued. Photographic postcards are important visual records of place and time. The chapter explores four accounts of travel and tourism. The four accounts are: Edward 1936 Diary, 1936, Marguerite 1939 June 23rd July 6th 1939, Italy, Anonymous 1940-1942 Holidays in England and Wales and Annie 1943 Holiday in Devonshire. Two show Devon (in south-west England) as a wartime destination for domestic tourism, while the other two describe holidays and travel abroad. The routines of travel, and various forms of transport used, are noted in each record.
