Published in association with the Travel and Tourism Programme (the organisation who developed the syllabus), this text is a comprehensive and stimulating companion for students of GCSE Travel and Tourism. The book takes a "behind the scenes" look at the travel and tourism industry and follows a case-study approach. The book is divided into four sections which follow the new syllabus exactly: tourist destinations; leisure facilities; the social, economic and environmental impact of tourism; and employment in the tourism industry. By adopting this approach students are given a better understanding of how the industry operates. The many activities in the book are appropriate both for GCSE and GNVQ students. Their variety is intended to enable the development both of knowledge about travel and tourism and the skills which are considered essential for the industry's future workforce.
