About Marco Polo

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!
