Resources for Tourism Education

Over the last 8 years we have developed a range of resources to support teaching and learning for a number of Leisure/Travel and Tourism specifications.
The most of our resources have been developed on CD and can be printed by centres.
(They are not password protected.)

Many of the resources consist of ‘assessment exercises’ which are primarily designed to consolidate the learning of key terms as well as preparing students for external examinations. Others consist of PowerPoint presentations and case studies.

Many centres find it difficult to find resources at the right level and depth to cover the concept of sustainable tourism.
Hopefully this will help to fill the gap!
