Marco polo can be described as a "commercial explorer". He was a Venetian who embarked on a long and tedious journey to China. He had to cross the Pamirs and the Gobi Desert. His caravan opened the eyes of Europe to the vast wealth and products that the Chinese had made. Before Marco Polo little was known about China in Europe so he provided valuable information to Europeans and interacted in a friendly manner to the Chinese people he visited. New trade and trade routes would develop with China in part due to Polo's expedition.
it took about 24 years or maybe even less

Has anyone continued Marco Polo's explorations? YES, I Harry Rutstein, became the first person in history to follow his accurately researched 13,000-mile journey from Venice to Beijing in three expeditions. The first conducted in 1975 starting at the beginning of July in Venice, Italy across the Mediteranean to Israel, across Turkey, Iran and Afghanistan, ending in the Hindu Kush Mountains. The winter snows blocked all the passes to Pakistan and I still had not received my vias to cross the Kunjerab Pass into China. Our second expedition in 1981 resulted in a film entitled "On the Roof of the World with Marco Polo." Finally, with the help of Vice President George H. W. Bush I obtained the long sought after visa to enter China. On August 15, 1985 I became the first western person to cross China's western border and on October 22, 1985 I became the first person to authentically Marco Polo's journey to China as was confirmed by the Royal Geographical Society. Also, 1n 1987 there was the Marco Polo Expedition led by Richard B Fisher who traced most, but not all of Marco Polo's route.
