About tourism notes
GoConqr OriginalStarting with tourism notes
Leisure, Sport and Tourism Summary is a useful starting point for its definitions and overview of international tourism. For a closer look at forms of tourism, try Tourism GW2. The notes in GCSE Geography: Tourism AQA offer another starting point for students working on that course.
Reading case studies
Move from the overview to a place-based example. Case Study - Benidorm looks at reasons for the resort’s growth, while Chamonix management considers responsible tourism and environmental protection. Other notes cover Blackpool, Kenya, the Lake District and Antarctica.
As you read, make a short list of the points each case study covers. Return to the broader notes to connect those examples with the topic. If you want to check what you remember, switch to a quiz on the Tourism unit page; use a mind map when you want to see ideas arranged visually. Choose a case study and see where it takes you.
