  • He is most known for establishing Thomas Cook & Son, a travel business.  
  • He was also one of the founders of the 'package tour,' which included travel, lodging, and other amenities.  
  • He planned to carry 600 sober activists from Leicester Campbell Street railway station to a teetotal rally in Loughborough, which was located eleven miles distant, in connection with the launch of the expanded Midland Counties Railway. 
  • In the end, he was successful in planning a round-trip across Europe. 
  • He eventually started a business selling travel tickets to tourists. Thomas Cook's early entrance into business helped contemporary tourism flourish.
