Unit Overview
"Travel and tourism is a very dynamic sector that offers a wide range of job opportunities for people with the right skills, knowledge and attitude. It has developed into one of the world’s most important sectors, with more than 880 million international tourist trips taken in 2009. It is also one of the fastest-growing areas of the UK economy, worth in excess of £115 billion in 2009 and supporting more than 2.6 million jobs in industries such as hotels, airlines, tourist attractions and travel agencies.
This unit sets the scene for investigating the travel and tourism sector. You will study the different component industries and how they link together, exploring different organisations and the products/services they provide to customers. You will also learn about the developments that have shaped present-day travel and tourism. Finally, you will explore the factors that currently influence the development of travel and tourism, as well as those likely to affect the sector in the near future. When you have completed the unit you will have a solid base from which to develop a detailed understanding of the travel and tourism sector through the other units you study on your course".
