In 1945 there was practically no tourism. World War II sort of got in the way.
Most people who traveled did so by train or ship. Air travel was still very early in development.
Since 1945 the highways have gotten better. Enter interstates. More people travel by car. Train travel (sadly) has declined in the U.S., though it remains strong in many other countries.
Air travel has boomed. Ship travel is now largely cruise-oriented.
Travel is more expensive in some ways, but cheaper in others.
Many more people have traveled in 2006 than had traveled--other than through military service--in 1945.

In 1945 - there were no Tourists going to Japan - only Eisenhower and his Army. The War in Europe was over and some English people took a long earned Holiday by the Sea Shore. Holiday Camps were just starting. I bicycled from London to Ramsgate in July 1945.
The weather was great - but not many tourists. There were very few cars on the English Roards -
what a blessing it was - and not a plane in the sky - it was God's own country that day - we had saved it from the Bosch.

It changed from something new and exciting, to something old and routine.
Now with all the inconveniences since 9/11, it's becoming more of a chore than a pleasure.
