BTEC Tech Award in Travel and Tourism Student Book (BTEC Tech Award Travel and Tourism)

Product Information

There are many factors that may influence global travel and tourism, and they are constantly changing. For example, severe weather events, political and economic factors; the publicity a destination receives can all affect the decisions visitors make and the way some travel and tourism organisations operate. Tourism can have a positive and a negative impact on local communities, the economy and the environment, and the issue of sustainability is a concern for many destinations, organisations and governments. You will be assessed by an exam in Year 11 which lasts two hours. content/dam/pdf/Support/Grade-boundaries/Project-qualifications/2306-level-1-2-3-project-subject-grade-boundaries.pdf If you change your mind about a course before it starts or during the first three weeks, we will happily transfer you to an alternative course - you may need to pay any difference in fees or have a credit note issued to you if the course is cheaper.

Global destinations are a key aspect of travel and tourism and their appeal is strongly influenced by factors such as their location, access and changing trends. Students will use a range of resources to investigate the location and features of global destinations. They will evaluate how travel routes and itineraries meet customer needs and investigate consumer trends and the reasons the popularity of global destinations may change. This unit is assessed externally in Year 13 with a task set by the exam board lasting three hours. We are proud to have our students moving onto a wide range of jobs and higher education courses. The vast majority of our students’ destinations arise directly from the Travel and Tourism course they studied here at Cardinal Newman College. We believe in preparing our students for the future they want. As well as careers as Cabin Crew and Holiday Reps, Travel and Tourism can lead to a wide range of other careers in the areas of event & hospitality management, wedding planning, travel agencies, public relations, travel journalism and tourism marketing. are released on temporary licence, studying outside a prison environment, and not funded by the Ministry of Justice
