Synopsis

This textbook provides comprehensive and highly accessible coverage of the A2 Travel & Tourism single award units, as laid down by the AQA, Edexcel and OCR specifications.


Printed in full colour and highly illustrated throughout, the book is divided into a number of topics. Each topic is
introduced through a Starter Chapter, to focus attention and generate informed discussion. Up-to-date, relevant
case studies are included throughout the book to help build knowledge and understanding of the travel and
tourism industry, and key discussion points are regularly signposted.

Each chapter concludes with a collection of practical support tips and tasks (Support your learning), including
information sources, skills building exercises and an activities menu.

For each topic there are also practical scenarios, which take the form of extended activities guiding students to research real travel and tourism industry organisations and places, to build learning for the exam and provide a platform for more detailed coursework research.

The introduction provides invaluable advice for tackling coursework and preparing for the examination and
an Appendix analyses the major specifications to help structure the way in which the material can be used.
