In this unit pupils examine the changing patterns, and the processes that cause them, in one particular economic activity - tourism. They consider the contribution made by tourism to the economies of countries in different states of economic development.
Through two case studies in contrasting economic contexts pupils assess the social, economic and environmental costs and benefits of this rapidly expanding industry. They also investigate aspects of sustainability and its implications for the management of tourist resorts in the future.
There are opportunities for pupils to analyse data and select their own methods for representing it.
This unit is expected to take 4-7 hours.
