Description: This paper provides you with a
broad introduction to the world of tourism. It provides an overview
of the nature of tourism and tourism products from both local and
international perspectives. It will ensure that you acquire an
understanding of the travel and tourism industry, including the
impacts of tourism on destination economies, environments and
cultures. Key topics included are government and political issues,
tourism ethics and sustainable tourism, tourist needs and
motivations, the development of tourism destinations, transport and
accommodation and the positive and negative economic, environmental
and socio-cultural impacts of tourism.
The Study Guide, which has been reviewed and endorsed by CTH,
works logically and methodically through the CTH 2009 syllabus,
following the syllabus order.
It explains the concepts clearly and provides ample opportunity
for practice of the techniques. Chapters start with the objectives
and topic list to put the material into context and they conclude
with a diagrammatic summary to consolidate learning and a set of
self-test questions to test understanding. The book concludes
with a past CTH real exam, forming a full practice exam for
students to attempt. A marking guide is also supplied.
The front pages of the Study Guide contain features such as tips
on how to study and an explanation of the exam structure.
Note that the CTH Tourism Industry syllabus is identical within
both the Diplomas in Hotel Management and Tourism Management, so
you can use this Study Guide to study for either qualification.
