HIGHER+LITHOSPHERE+CASE+STUDIES

CASE STUDIES:

Occasionally the LITHOSPHERE question just focuses on tourism and asks you to explain how it benefits and area. You should refer to things such as improved employment opportunities, improvements in the economy through expanding business for shops, hotels, restaurants, B&Bs, and campsites. And the multiplier effect. Give examples of possible jobs- ski instructor, work in info centre, ranger. More tourism leads to improvements in the infrastructure which benefits the local community- new roads, better bus services, leisure centres. More tourism may stop rural depopulation and encourage new people to the area.
