Peoples’ Saga – “Sharadhi” A Beach Retreat.
Beach tourism is one of the earliest modern forms of tourism and a staple of the tourism industry. This kind of tourism at coastal resorts is often considered to result from an inevitable attraction to the beach, but the relationship is one in which tourism and leisure are an inherent part of the formation of the desirability of beaches. As a resort-style destination, the beach is almost synonymous with the makings of modern tourism. This is partly because the beach as a desirable pleasure space did not become notable until the 19th century, following the defeat of sentiments of danger and strangeness through its gradual reinvention as a coastal resort and playground for pleasure.
Beginning with the cool beaches of the north and spreading to the warmer beaches beyond, first the wealthy requiring a cure, then the mass day-trippers on trains and families on holidays, and now international tourists of various types make up the market of one of the most successful forms of tourism. Today’s mature beach tourism sector, where high-amenity lifestyles describe the pleasure of sun, sea, and surf, is a recent, if highly popular, invention.
