Arthur Frommer
Arthur Frommer led the charge in one of the great revolutions of the 20th Century. No one fired a shot, but as a result of the revolution millions of average people invaded countries all over the world. With good reason, Mr. Frommer has been called both "the dean of American travel writers" and "America's foremost travel authority." More than any other individual, he has brought about sweeping changes in what travelers expect to get from travel.
Through scores of well known books (starting with Europe of $5 a Day back in the 1950's), speeches, lectures, TV appearances and newspaper and magazine columns, he has shown generations of Americans how to really get at the riches of different cities and countries. He has proved that you don't have to spend a lot of money to have a wonderful travel experience. As a matter of fact, his travel philosophy is, "The less you spend, the more you enjoy your travel."
In addition to his writing, Mr. Frommer has changed the face of travel through his own travel company, Arthur Frommer Tours. For instance, he originated the public charter and started the London Show Tours with British Airways. He was one of the first travel operators to begin opening up exciting new places like Amsterdam, and operated the first charter flight into Egypt.
He is a graduate of the Yale University Law School, where he was an editor of the Yale Law Journal, and he is a member of the New York Bar. After service with U.S. Army Intelligence at the time of the Korean War, he practiced law in New York City with the firm of the late Adlai Stevenson until the growing demands of travel writing and tour operating required that he give them full attention.
In February of 1998 Mr. Frommer launched his latest venture, a magazine called Arthur Frommer’s Budget Travel.
