Arthur Frommer's guidebook, 'Europe on 5 Dollars a Day,' revolutionized travel for postwar Americans, promoting affordability and accessibility to international experiences previously deemed exclusive.
His writings, marked by both enthusiasm and straightforwardness, presented travel not merely as a luxury but as a means to understand diverse cultures and places on their own terms.
Frommer believed that travel was a democratic duty for middle-class Americans, advocating that seeing the world's great cities should be an accessible right and experience.
Commencing in 1957, Frommer's guidebooks offered a transformative perspective on travel for American tourists, prioritizing affordability, cultural immersion, and the joy of discovery in foreign lands.
