Did ancient or medieval civilizations have tourism as we know it today?

/u/WelfOnTheShelf has addressed a similar premise in:

Was tourism and sightseeing a thing in the past, centuries ago? If yes, how did it go?
I am a pilgrim living in Normandy in 1105 who has heard fascinating stories about the Holy Land. Assuming I have the financial means to go on a pilgrimage, what does my journey look like? Can I expect to arrive in Jerusalem safely, and how will I be treated by locals in the Levant in general?
What was Crusader tourism like...?
How were Muslim pilgrims/residents treated within the Kingdom of Jerusalem?
How were pilgrimages to Jerusalem organized before the first crusade?
