What this set covers
Visitors, attractions and the geography of facilities are covered. Tourists and excursionists, primary and secondary resources, honeypot sites, carrying capacity, threshold, catchment area, distance decay, time-space compression and low-cost carriers all feature.
- Common mix-up
- Students often confuse a primary tourist resource with a secondary one: a beach or cathedral already existed, while a theme park or hotel is built specifically for visitors.
- Revision tip
- Pick a stadium or leisure centre near you and describe its threshold and catchment area using the set's terms. Then say what distance decay does to visits.
