Not all destinations are the same, not everyone travels for the same reasons. How are tourist destinations marketed? What are appropriate marketing materials? What about the employment opportunities and trends? What are the external pressures on destinations? How can industries respond to terrorism and disease? How are the different sectors responding to future threats?
Tourism is one of the world's largest industries in terms of employment and funding. The industry is essential to the Welsh economy generating billions in revenue and contributing economically towards many different sectors.
Why is customer service so important? What happens if a customer doesn’t experience good customer service? What do customers want when they visit an attraction or use transport? Why do customers choose one tour operator rather than another? Why do customers show loyalty to a certain travel agency or chain? Why do customers stop using an organisation? These are all important questions to tourism organisations. By finding answers to these we can learn what customers see as a good or bad experience and help tourism organisations to assess and improve their performance.Â
Unit 2 The Business of Tourism
How important is tourism to the UK? How do tourism organisations achieve success? How do travel agencies survive in business when so many customers shop online? How can some airlines offer fares that are so cheap and others are so expensive? How do tourism organisations help to protect the environment?Â
Unit 3 Developing UK Tourist Destinations
Why are some tourist destinations more popular than others? Do business tourists look for something different from a destination than a leisure tourist? Are all beaches appealing? If a destination doesn’t have a railway station, can it still be popular? How important is accommodation to the appeal of a destination? Can an attraction bring new tourists to a destination?
