SDME exam prep
This document provides information about preparing for an exam on tourism impacts. It discusses what the exam theme and focus will be, when it is, and how much it contributes to the overall grade. It then asks questions to help define key tourism terms and identify stakeholders. Charts and maps show patterns in global tourism destinations and spending. Questions prompt identifying these patterns and trends. The document suggests tourism has greatly increased since 1960 and asks why. It also asks about different types of jobs involved in the tourism industry and provides example exam questions on impacts and events affecting tourism levels. Homework involves researching UK tourism sites, volumes, and potential effects.
