SubjectsTravel & Tourism

The Travel and Tourism curriculum allows students to realise their God-given potential. The curriculum is designed to engage students by developing their understanding of the Travel and Tourism industry and the importance of future employment opportunities. There are many opportunities within the Travel and Tourism curriculum to develop students’ cultural capital with investigations into a variety of cultures, the significance of a shrinking world as well as understand the importance of looking after the natural world.  This sits alongside partnerships with local travel and tourism businesses to provide opportunities through workshops, trips and talks to develop a deeper understanding of the curriculum within the real-world context.  

The Travel and Tourism course has been carefully designed to fulfil our vision. The planning of the courses highlights the core Christian values throughout the topics taught, the case studies used and the discussions within lessons. Students consider ethical and moral decisions made by organisations as well considering the ethical implications of dark tourism and the impact of tourism on locals. The Key Stage 5 qualification considers the sustainability and environmental impacts of how all different organisations run and the short, medium and long impacts of looking after the natural environment all around us.    

The Key Stage 5 BTEC Extended Certificate in Travel and Tourism offers all students the opportunity to develop a holistic approach to the industry by investigating strategic and tactical decisions and how they affect the industry as well as considering how the industry responds to external factors.
