tourism

Tourism in the New Zealand curriculum is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the tourism industry, its impacts, and its significance to local and global economies. This subject fosters cultural awareness, sustainability, and entrepreneurial skills, equipping students with the knowledge and competencies needed to participate in and contribute to the tourism sector. Through the study of tourism, students gain insight into how tourism destinations are developed, managed, and marketed, and how tourism influences communities and environments.

Students engage in practical activities, case studies, and industry-based projects that reflect real-world tourism scenarios, enabling them to apply theoretical knowledge to practical situations. This hands-on approach helps students develop essential skills such as customer service, event planning, financial management, and strategic decision-making.
