Tourism

Introduction

In this theme you will focus on tourism and holidays.

What are you going to do?
You’re going to look at some facts and figures about tourism, and then some of the issues affecting tourism. For example, did you know that not all tourism is about the traveller? In fact what is the difference between a traveller and a tourist?

The tourism industry is now highly regulated. The result seems to be ‘sameness’. When we go to shopping centres around the world, they are all the same and the products on sale are also often the same that we don’t know what country we are in.

There are many different groups of travel ranging from political travel to economic.
We will look at some types of traveller – are you a backpacker or a flashpacker?
Then we look at eco-tourism – what is it? And are so called ‘eco companies’ really green?
And what about a job in the holiday industry? Would you like that?
We read about the life of a travel writer. Sounds like the perfect job, right?
And we have some videos for you.
A TEDX talk about the future of tourism, and a couple of songs about holidays.

How about you?
What words do you know that have to do with tourism and holidays?
Write at least twenty words in a mind map. Check below for tips how to create a mind map.
Compare Mindmaps with your classmates. What are the differences?
Do you understand the other words that other students have written down?

You are going to give a presentation about one aspect of tourism.
Here are some ideas to choose from but you can choose another idea of your own.

Is it a great presentation? Why (not)?
Give examples, explain why/why not.
Discuss these with your classmate.
Compare your answers with the example answers below. Did you also find these answers?

  • Confused beginning. He appeared to have the wrong slides (or not) it wasn’t very funny.
  • He included many irrelevant personal stories (how is tramping relevant to the future of tourism?).
  • His points weren’t immediately obvious.
  • He was a bit rude to his audience (comment about Dutch and boiled vegetables).
  • He didn’t really sound authoritative although he is an authority.
  • Overall it wasn’t an engaging presentation.

Your presentation

Now you are going to prepare and then present your own talk.
  • Look at your list of things to do, and things not to do.​​
  • Practice your talk with your classmate.
  • Give your presentation to your class.
  • It should not take longer than three minutes.
  • Your talk should include a maximum of ten slides.
