Teacher in Charge: Mr D. Purdie.
This course provides students with a broad introduction to the exciting world of tourism, traditionally one of New Zealand's biggest employers and export industries. Students will understand how tourism should be managed by discovering why tourists travel, where they travel and what they do when they travel. This may include: careers within the tourism industry; New Zealand and overseas destinations, tourism impacts, guest speakers; field trips to experience what it is like to be a tourist; visits to accommodation providers.
