What the best things you did on holiday? Was there something you didn’t enjoy? Would you recommend it to others to visit?

What is the main attraction in each of these locations?

Feedback on white board. Draw a spider diagram in your books to record this info – we will be adding more information later so leave enough room. I suggest you use a double page.

From our lists of Tourist requirements – generate a list of jobs/employment that are related to tourism. Think of as many as you can. Here’s one job for free! Add this employment info on to your spider diagram.
