Scenario:
After finishing your BTEC National course, you’ve been given the chance to work for a small tour operator specialising in holidays to long-haul destinations. You have joined on a trial basis to see if tour operating is a career that you would like to follow.
The company would like to test your knowledge of travel geography, especially long-haul travel destinations visited by British people
Task
1 You have been given two blank maps of the world and must locate on the first one the following continents – Asia, North America, South America, Africa and Australasia. On the second map you must identify and locate accurately five destinations on each continent that attract visitors from the UK. Ideally, there should be one of each type of destination per continent, i.e. city, coastal/beach, natural, purpose-built and historical/cultural. You may use atlases, brochures and other reference sources to complete this task and each map should be clearly labelled using a key.
This task will enable you to achieve P1.
2 The boss of the company would like you to do some research to outline different types of holidays available in long-haul destinations that meet specific UK visitor motivations (P2). She would like you to make a presentation in which you must select one city, one coastal/beach, one natural, one purpose-built
