Section outline

  • Kia ora, this will be our last week focusing on tourism - we will return back to the Olympics & the Olympic economy from next week onwards. I will have an activity for us to do from Week 8 onwards, so this is 'the last gasp' of the daily work we have been doing for the last few weeks.

    This week's focus will be on tying up the topic of tourism by asking what the involvement of the United Nations is, a perennial focus of ours. We will then cap things off with a fun look at dark tourism - what is it? What makes it 'dark'? What does it say about the tourism industry that this is a subset of its economy?

    Success Criteria: I can/have...

    • I can identify the role of the United Nations in relation to tourism
    • I can explain some of the pros and cons of dark tourism

    1. Tourism & the UN (Worksheet)
    2. Dark Tourism & Follow Up (Worksheet)
    3. Dark Tourist - Selected Videos (Class appropriate)
