Module Content
Outline Syllabus:This unit will identify the development of the relationship between special interests and tourism and how this has adapted and changed over a number of years. A range of areas within specialist tourism will be analysed, namely; food tourism, wine tourism, sex tourism, adventure tourism and religious tourism. Attention will be given to an assortment of visitor attractions and learners will look into reasons behind the rise and decline of traditional destinations and patterns of demand. Consideration will be made regarding tourist types and visitor needs and expectations and as a result, a range of marketing strategies and market segmentation for specialist tourism will be created. Finally motivators and determinants and patterns of consumption will be identified and host reactions, trends and future potential of such patterns will be evaluated.
