1 Revision 1.

2 1.Trends in the growth of tourist destinations around the world. 2.Explore how different places and environments provide different opportunities for tourist activities, including investigations of two places at different stages of economic development. 3.The development of mass commercial tourism and specialist tourism. Use examples to investigate the development of package holiday and short break destinations and the growth of exotic and long-haul locations, including ecotourism and fair trade tourism.

3 Describe the trend of global tourism. Use the evidence they have given you.

4 Product Development Social/EconomicChanges in Technology Product Development Increase in car ownership Increase in leisure time: holiday entitlement shorter working week early retirement with pensions ageing population Greater wealth: larger incomes less children Two wage-earner families Motorways Jet aircraft Computer reservation systems Internet on-line booking Package holidays Theme Parks Activity holidays Weekend breaks Ecotourism Use then information to explain why there is more tourism abroad and less domestic tourism.

5 The multiplier Effect. As tourism increases so do the amount of faclilties such as hotels, transport, shops, visitor attractions = job opportunities. Example. = Benidorm in Spain. Problems = Water supply, visual pollution, noise pollution, increased crime, anti social behaviour, waste disposal, high cost of housing, local Spanish over run, Spanish culture diminished.

6 1)Can you describe the trend? 2)Can you suggest a reason for the trend.

7 1.Recession / credit crunch 2.Increase in the cost of fuel / inflation 3.Acts of terrorism 4.Natural disasters 5.Changes in the exchange rates Can you give and example of each one? External factors affecting tourism.

8 Domino Effect. When tourism declines, such as in Southsea, hotels close down as do cafes and resturants. Jobs are fewer and people move away to find work else where. House prices decline and the area becomes run down through lack of investment.

9 Use this information to look at the exam paper. Do the question 2 a and b first and then check with the example answers and read the examiners comment. www.bptourism.wikispaces.com Exam papers and answers
