Tourism Matters: Study Guide to BTEC Travel and Tourism is a lively and thoroughly written text which introduces students to the main aspects of the tourism sector. The book adopts a modern approach to the subject, covering topics such as the Business of Travel and Tourism, Ecotourism, Domestic and International Destinations, Marketing Tourism Products and Services as well as preparing for employment in the tourism industry with tips and insider advice on how to secure a job.

Educationalists suggest an inductive approach to education, where we go from the experience of the students to the underlying principles, provides best results. The objective of this book is to provide people at school or college with realistic examples of dilemmas they will face in the world of work, or when looking for work. This may be as part of their PSHE development. The book also aims to provide material which can be used by people working on their own. Young people need to have transferable skills and some of these can be obtained by looking at the ways in which businesses approach them. It is therefore worthwhile trying to understand these approaches, and to see why some are effective while others are totally misplaced.

Introduction to the World of Work Synopsis We have subdivided the modules into personal and business since this seems a logical approach. Educationalists suggest an inductive approach to education is the best one where we go from the experience of the students to the underlying principles and therefore we have put in the personal modules first. The objective of all the modules is both to help people within schools or colleges to be faced with realistic choices which can be answered if necessary in the classroom but also to provide material which can be used by young people working on their own. Young people need to have transferable skills and some of these can be obtained by looking at the ways in which businesses approach them. It is therefore worthwhile trying to build up a portfolio of ways in which businesses have these approaches and to see which ones are effective and why, also which ones are totally misplaced.
