About the Course

You will study the diversity of destinations which have produced tourism and the structure of the tourist industry.

You will gain a greater insight into this important sector which is particularly relevant to Brighton & Hove. A range of varied activities will help you learn the skills and content needed including group work, mind-mapping, presentations, research and discussions.

The examinations account for approximately 60% of the final grade.
