About Regional and City Destination Case Studies

GoConqr Original

What the page covers

This unit is a collection of destination case studies, mostly as mind maps. They cover alpine resorts, island destinations, cities, countryside areas and ecotourism. Most of the material is aimed at secondary level, and one exam is named in the listed resources: BTEC Travel and Tourism.

Where to start

Begin with the mind map CASE STUDY: Abondance, France. It sets out the background of a traditional Alpine ski resort in Haute-Savoie that relies on winter skiers. Then open Chamonix, which is organised under basic facts, attractions, and economic, social and environmental impacts, plus management. Comparing the two shows how similar resorts are handled differently.

  1. Read a mind map for the overall picture.
  2. Move to the notes or flashcards for detail.
  3. Finish with a quiz.

Islands, ecotourism and heritage

The mind map Case Study: Antigua LEDW looks at agents, objectives, impacts, management and sustainable tourism development, with examples such as all-inclusive resorts and the national tourist board. Tataquara Lodge, Brazil (Ecotourism) covers activities such as fishing, canoeing and forest walks, and environmental benefits like a lodge built from local materials. For Jordan, the two flashcard decks separate public and private agents and their objectives, and there is a quiz called Quiz - LEDW Case Study: Jordan. Jamaica, Grand Cayman, Hong Kong and New York have maps too.

UK places

The notes Information on the Lake District and Information on Stratford Upon Avon are written for a Unit 3 task on countryside and historical destinations. The flashcards on Blackpool and the maps on Glastonbury and Weston-Super-Mare add seaside and festival examples.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a map, close it, then take a quiz such as Destination Specialist Part 2, which tests Canadian places. Note what you missed and go back to that branch of the map.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the mind map on Abondance, France, then open Chamonix. Both are Alpine resorts, so you can compare background, impacts and management side by side. After that, choose a destination from a different setting, such as the Antigua mind map or the Tataquara Lodge ecotourism map.

What do the mind maps cover?

They cover destinations including Chamonix, Antigua, Jamaica, Grand Cayman, Hong Kong, New York, Barcelona, Glastonbury and Weston-Super-Mare. Many are organised under headings like attractions, impacts and management, so you can see how each case study is structured. There are over 200 to choose from.

Are there quizzes on this page?

Yes, there are more than 5 quizzes. They include Destination Specialist Part 2, Quiz - LEDW Case Study: Jordan, a Botswana question set, and a multiple choice quiz on a 2014 tourism case study. Use them after reading a map to check what you remember.

Which exam does this suit?

The listed resources mention BTEC Travel and Tourism. Most of the material is at secondary level, so it suits school students working on destination case studies. Teachers can also use the maps and notes as ready-made classroom material.

Are the resources free, and who made them?

Every resource here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account lets you save quiz scores and make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.

What if my destination is missing?

Look at the related case studies first, since similar places share headings such as impacts and management. You can then build your own mind map or flashcards for the missing destination, using the existing ones as a model for how to structure it.
