The module is based on one hour lecture plus one hour tutorial each week and will involve a site visit during the semester. The module is also supported by invited industry speakers and independent study. Classes will make use of a range of presentation media including DVD presentations, websites and case study material. Case studies will be used throughout the module to raise current issues and allow for the study of the application of management techniques in a variety of visitor atraction settings. Site visits will be used to demonstrate the operational issues in specific attraction contexts plus allow for the preparation for the second assessment. Students will be encouraged to observe and reflect on the business practice in a variety of visitor attraction settings, enabling them to develop their own skills and encourage the development of practical management solutions through their synthesis of how organisations work and meet visitor needs. The practical nature of the second part of the assessment allows for their personal skills development in preparing them for a work envrionment.The assessments will provide the student with the opportunity to demonstrate their awareness of the visitor attraction sector and then to devise an approach to enhancing the management of a visitor attraction of choice. The two assessments combined will cover the full range of Learning Outcomes, the first offering an early opportunity to demonstrate understanding, with the second being more summative in nature. Assessment One focuses on LO1 - an essay regarding definitions of visitor attractions, encouraging students to utilise a range of sources and explore the sector. The second is a report based on improving the management of a visitor attraction chosen by the student. Clear guidance will be given in class and via the VLE.
