Marco Polo was the original, trailblazing ‘tourist’. Born around
1254 into a wealthy Venetian merchant family, at the age of 17 he
embarked on an epic journey to Asia and was one of the first
westerners to visit China. When he returned he recorded his
extensive travels by publishing a book which introduced Europeans
to Central Asia and China, possibly the first ‘travel guide’ ever
published!
Marco Polo’s travels have since inspired countless adventurers to
set off and see the world. It is reputed that Christopher Columbus
set off across the Atlantic with a copy of Marco Polo’s original
book. It is this pioneering spirit that drives us at Marco Polo
Travel Publishing to provide the best guides, maps, atlases, and
phrasebooks to help you explore the world. We hope our guides and
maps will inspire you to set off on your own adventures.
