Thomas Cook, lehen bidaia agentea

cook
Thomas Cook'Aspects of New York' liburutik hartua.

Leicester (Ingalaterra), 1841eko uztailaren 5a. 570 lagun Loughborough-era joan ziren Midland Counties Railway konpainiaren pleitatutako trenean, biltzar antialkoholiko batean parte hartzeko. Itxuraz, historian iragarritako lehen tren bidaia izan zen eta, beraz, lehen bidaia antolatua. Thomas Cookek (Melbourne, Ingalaterra, 1808, Leicester, 1892), behin, ia hamazortzi kilometro egin zituen oinez edari alkoholdunen aurkako bilera batera joateko, eta orduan bururatu zitzaion txangoa antolatzea. Ez dirudi lehen bidaia hark onura ekonomikorik ekarri zionik.

Horrek ez du esan nahi jarduera berritzaileari esker etorkizunean etekinik lortu ez zuenik. Burgesiari aisia-bidaia arin eta merkeak eskaintzeko negozioa zabaldu zuen berehala, beti ere trena baliatuta. 1851n 165.000 pertsona eraman zituen Londresko Erakusketa Unibertsalera eta, handik lau urtera, Leicesterretik Calais-erako txangoak antolatuta, kontinentera jauzi egin zuen bidaiariak Pariseko Erakusketara helarazteko.

1856an Europa Iparraldean barnako bira antolatu zuen. 1868an Harwich bidean bidaiarien zirkulazioa ustiatzeko esklusiba lortu zuen eta, berehala, baita Brenneroko portuaren eta Brindisiren arteko bidearena ere. Bide hura, Frantziaren eta Prusiaren arteko gerran, Cooken turismo enpresarentzat soilik egon zen irekita. Hotelekin hitzartutako bonuak ere alkoholaren aurkako militante honek asmatu zituen, bezeroen ordainketa errazteko.

Cookek 1864an Italiara lehen txangoa antolatu zuenean, zera esan zuen Blackwood´s Magazine aldizkariak: «Lotsarik gabeko gizon batek diru kopuru baten truk 40 edo 50 lagun Londrestik Napolira gidatzeko proiektua asmatu du. Haiek eraman, jatekoa eman eta dibertiarazteko konpromisoa bere gain hartzen du gizon horrek. Italiako hiriak mota horretako izakiz gainezka daude, zinez».

Egun Thomas Cook bidaia agentzia sasoi betean dago, hegazkin konpainia propioa eta guzti, eta munduko txoko ia guztiak “mota horretako izakiz gainezka daude”.
