- Flip chart and markers
- Exit‑ticket slips

Introduction:
Begin with a quick show of travel photos and ask students how tourism is managed in their country. Connect their ideas to the concept of a tourism policy. State today’s success criteria: list policy aims, identify government levels, and perform a stakeholder role‑play.
|
Lesson Structure:
- Do‑now (5'): Think‑pair‑share – “What would happen if there were no rules for tourists?”
- Mini‑lecture (10'): Definition of tourism policy, its aims and objectives (use projector).
- Group analysis (15'): Students examine the handout objectives list and match each to a policy aim.
- Role‑play activity (20'): In groups of four, students assume roles (government, local council, business, community) to conduct a stakeholder consultation on a new tourism project.
- Whole‑class debrief (5'): Discuss how the role‑play illustrated the six stages of policy development.
- Exit ticket (5'): Write one measurable objective they would include in a local tourism policy.
|
Conclusion:
Recap the key aims, objectives and government levels covered, highlighting how the role‑play linked theory to practice. Collect exit tickets to gauge understanding and assign homework: draft a brief policy aim for a local attraction, citing a measurable target.
