 INTRODUCTION 
Tourism has significantly progressed since the ancient times when travel activities were closely linked with religious travel and some basic physical needs. In modern days, tourism represents a wide and diverse industry which involves large masses of people and generates a large number of jobs and income. However, tourism is a challenging phenomenon and the development of the sector has changed dramatically during the last few decades. The Travel Unit 2–Computer Systems EDEXCEL BTEC Computing and Systems Developmentand Tourism sector is dynamic and constantly changing. It is both proactive, in that it can stimulateeconomic growth, and reactive, in that it is sensitive to ever-changing global markets. Some new trends have emerged while some issues have continued to be discussed in response to the growth and scope of travel and tourism activities.

Assessment:
The module will be assessed meeting all the LO as specified by the awarding body, Ed Excel.Please read the instructions carefully while addressing the tasks specified. 
Contribution:  100 % of the module
Outline Details: Report approx.  4000 words.   Details enclosed in the assignment brief. 
Teaching and Learning Activities    
The module tutor(s) will aim to combine lectures with tutorial activities. This environment will provide opportunities for the student to understand the course material through case study and text and to apply it in a practical way. The intent is to facilitate interactive class activities, and discussion about the significant role of research in a global and local business environment. 
2.3       Teaching Ethos
The college’s approach towards teaching and learning is simple and effective. The main aim of UKCBC is to assist learners in maximising their potential by ensuring that they are taught clearly and effectively. This will enable students to engage in the learning environment and promote success in both their academic studies and subsequent career. 
2.3.1 Methods of Delivery: 
LECTURES:
These will be developed around the key concepts as mentioned in the indicative course content and will use a range of live examples and cases from business practice to demonstrate the application of theoretical concepts. This method is primarily used to identify and explain key aspects of the subject so that learners can utilise their private study time more effectively. 
SEMINARS:
These are in addition to the lectures. The seminars are designed to give learners the opportunity to test their understanding of the material covered in the lectures and private study with the help of reference books. This methodology usually carries a set of questions identified in advance. Seminars are interactive sessions led by the learners. This method of study gives the learner an excellent opportunity to clarify any points of difficulty with the tutor and simultaneously develop their oral communication skills. 
CASE STUDIES:
An important learning methodology is the extensive use of case studies. They enable learners to apply the concepts that they learn in their subjects. The learners have to study the case, analyse the facts presented and arrive at conclusions and recommendations. This assists in the assessment of the learner’s ability to apply to the real world the tools and techniques of analysis which they have learnt. The case study serves as a supplement to the theoretical knowledge imparted through the course work. 
Plagiarism: 
Any act of plagiarism will be seriously dealt with according to the colleges and awarding bodies’ regulations. In this context the definition and scope of plagiarism are presented below:
Plagiarism is presenting someone’s work as your own. It includes copying information directly from the web or books without referencing the material; submitting joint coursework as an individual effort; copying another student’s coursework; stealing coursework form another student and submitting it as your own work. Suspected plagiarism will be investigated and if found to have occurred will be dealt with according to the college procedure. (For further details please refer to the plagiarism policy and the student code of conduct.)
