Introduction Established in 1808, Thomas Cook is the world's best-known name in travel, thanks to the inspiration and dedication of a single man. Thomas Cook began his international travel company in 1841, with a successful one-day rail excursion at a shilling a head from Leicester to Loughborough. From these humble beginnings Thomas Cook launched a whole new kind of company - devoted to helping Britons see the world. This year Thomas Cook celebrates the 150th anniversary of taking Britain abroad. The first foreign holiday, in July 1855, was a grand circular tour of Brussels, Cologne, the Rhine, Heidelberg, Baden-Baden, Strasbourg and Paris. Today Thomas Cook offers holidays to more than 1,000 locations. The very latest to be introduced is Brazil, which will start receiving Thomas Cook holidaymakers in Spring 2006.
