AQA GCSE Leisure and Tourism Textbook (Paperback)  | Released: 15-Jun-06

AQA GCSE Leisure & Tourism provides comprehensive and highly accessible coverage of the three compulsory units that make up the AQA Double Award GCSE in Leisure and Tourism. The book is divided into three topics: The leisure and tourism industries, Marketing leisure and tourismand Customer service in leisure and tourism. Topic 1 provides the key knowledge and understanding needed for the unit 1 examination, as well as helping build the appropriate skills, including description, explanation, analysis and evaluation. Topics 2 and 3 cover coursework and are intended to assess student learning of the relevant study areas. This textbook provides the information students will need to help build the knowledge, understanding and skills necessary to complete their coursework. A wide range of case studies are featured throughout the book. They include facilities, organisations and destinations from major players to the small to medium-sized enterprises that are so important to the leisure and tourism industries. The case studies provide a base of learning from which students can launch their own investigations for the two course- work units. At the end of each chapter, and within many of them, menus of activities are presented in three columns, to support work towards each of the three assessment objectives. Practical scenarios also feature in each topic. These are extended practical activities that guide students to research real leisure and tourism industry organisations and places. They build learning for the examination and act as platforms underpinning more detailed investigation for coursework units.
