People have been visiting Antarctica since 1899 -- some under the guise of scientific research, and all usually funded by governments or scientific organizations. Some of these people were really tourists in disguise.

Commercial tourism began in the 1960s, and there were earlier visits by tourists who paid to ride on mail boats to some of the sub-Antarctic islands.
