GCSE Leisure & Tourism
Leisure & Tourism is an applied subject which is concerned with people's changing leisure activities and travel behaviour. You will also study the destinations that people visit and changes in patterns of tourism - including the issues of impact and sustainability that they raise.
Leisure & Tourism also covers the study of leisure and tourism organisations - the businesses which make up the leisure and tourism industries. Promotion and sales activities, working in leisure and tourism and health & safety issues faced by leisure and tourism organisations are all included.
