- Description: Thomas Cook revolutionized travel by creating modern tourism and founding the world's first travel agency. Born into a working-class family in Melbourne, Derbyshire, he left school at age 10 to work as a gardener's assistant. A devout Baptist missionary and temperance advocate, on July 5, 1841, he organized his first excursion: a railway journey from Leicester to Loughborough for 570 people attending a temperance meeting, charging one shilling per person. This pioneering venture launched the modern tourism industry. Cook introduced revolutionary concepts still used today: the package tour combining transport, accommodation and meals at a single inclusive price, hotel vouchers (1868), and printed travel guides. In 1872-73, he organized the world's first round-the-world tour, covering over 29'000 miles in 222 days. His company established the first tourist offices in Cairo (1872), Jaffa (1874), and Jerusalem (1881), making exotic destinations accessible to Europe's growing middle class. By the end of the 19th century, Thomas Cook & Son had arranged travel to Palestine for about 12'000 people, including German Emperor Kaiser Wilhelm II. The company pioneered international travel services, issuing the precursor to travelers' checks ("Cook's Circular Notes" in 1874)

- Description: Karl Creelman, a Canadian cyclist, embarked on an extraordinary journey in 1902, becoming the first Canadian to attempt a solo world tour on a bicycle. Starting from his hometown of Truro, Nova Scotia, Creelman's venture led him across continents, facing challenges such as adverse weather conditions, rugged terrain, and at times, nearly non-existent roads.
