The History of Holidays

This is a worksheet which can be used in a number of ways. As part of a geography lesson on tourism, as part of a Leisure and tourism course or as a stand alone lesson for a cover/supply teacher. The lesson is aimed at KS4 students and describes the holiday experiences of an imaginary person over a 60 year period. Students are asked to put the events into chronological order and then identify holiday trends in each decade and the different factors which have lead to these trends. The resource also introduces a number of key words associated with the leisure and Tourist Industry.
