- Pupils can find out where local people go on holiday and why they choose those destinations. This could be done by surveying members of the school community or asking local travel agents for information. Has anyone visited a place that has a sustainable tourism or eco-tourism policy? What was it like?
- In groups, pupils discuss the positive and negative effects of tourism in different places. It may be appropriate to include a discussion about the contribution made by tourism to the local economy.
- Using statistics, newspaper articles and documents from organisations such as Oxfam, pupils can identify the potential impact of tourism on specific areas, assessing which aspects might be considered good or bad and why.
- In a class discussion, pupils consider whether people would stay away from certain destinations if they knew that the local people were being displaced or exploited.
- Using information from the previous sections, pupils could produce a consumer guide to responsible tourism.
