About Introduction to Tourism
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
This page collects study material on the basics of tourism. Much of it is aimed at GCSE courses, and the listed resources mention GCSE Leisure and Tourism, GCSE Geography, GCSE Travel and Tourism and Cambridge IGCSE Travel and Tourism. Everything was made by GoConqr users, so the style varies from one resource to the next.
Where to start
Begin with vocabulary. The flashcard deck Travel and Tourism Unit 1 runs through domestic, outbound and inbound tourism, leisure travel, VFR, business travel (MICE) and specialist forms such as adventure, health and education travel. Then move to Travel & Tourism Definitions and Terms, which adds ideas like intangibility, perishability, package holidays and independent travel.
Using maps and quizzes together
- Open the mind map Positive Impacts of Tourism. It splits benefits into social, economic, environmental and cultural branches, with points such as employment opportunities and the multiplier effect.
- Open the mind map IMPACTS OF TOURISM to see the environmental, sociocultural and economic sides, and how impacts can be direct or indirect.
- Try the quiz Travel and Tourism BTEC — Travel Agents, which asks you to define terms such as serviced accommodation.
- Return to the map for anything you missed.
The mind map Leisure and Recreation is a good side step. It defines leisure as free time you choose how to spend, and separates active leisure from other kinds.
Going further
Several maps and decks cover models and case studies, including the Butler Model and the Tourism Life Cycle Model. The case-study material includes Bogota, the Cayman Islands, Nepal and Bozcaada. There are also notes on different types of tourism and on reasons for the growth in tourism.
Where it fits
This unit sits in the Foundations of Tourism strand of the Tourism and hospitality subject. It gives you the terms and ideas that later, more specialised topics rely on.
Choose one deck or map today, test yourself on it, then build your own version in your own words.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the flashcard deck Travel and Tourism Unit 1. It lists the main kinds of tourism, such as domestic, inbound, outbound, business and adventure travel. Once those terms feel familiar, the mind map IMPACTS OF TOURISM is a sensible next step.
What do the impact mind maps cover?
IMPACTS OF TOURISM groups impacts into environmental, sociocultural and economic, and notes that they can be direct or indirect. Positive Impacts of Tourism looks at the benefits under social, economic, environmental and cultural headings, including employment and the multiplier effect.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr itself, so it is worth comparing a few resources on the same topic.
Which exams do these resources suit?
Most of the material is at secondary level. The listed resources mention GCSE Leisure and Tourism, GCSE Geography, GCSE Travel and Tourism and Cambridge IGCSE Travel and Tourism. University students and professional candidates will find definitions and models useful too.
Are there quizzes on this page?
Yes, there are more than 10 quizzes. They include Travel and Tourism BTEC — Travel Agents, Why people Travel - GCSE Revision questions L and T, Nepal Tourism and Geography-Tourism. Use them after reading a map or deck to check what you remember.
What if I cannot find the topic I need?
Try a nearby resource first, such as the notes on different types of tourism or the Butler Model maps. If the topic is still missing, you can make your own quiz, mind map, flashcards or notes with a free account, which also saves your quiz scores.
