Subject: Drama
Lesson Topic: Structure of the travel and tourism industry: sectors, interrelationships, chain of distribution
Learning Objective/s:
  • Describe the three main sectors of the travel and tourism industry.
  • Explain how the sectors interrelate and affect one another.
  • Illustrate the chain of distribution from supplier to consumer.
  • Analyse the impact of changes in one sector on the overall tourism product.
  • Apply knowledge by mapping a real‑world tourism package onto the distribution chain.
Materials Needed:
  • Projector and screen
  • Whiteboard and markers
  • Handout with sector summary and distribution‑chain table
  • Sticky notes for the opening activity
  • Printed case‑study of a tourism package
  • Laptop for online travel‑agency examples
 Introduction:
Begin with a quick poll: “When you plan a holiday, which services come to mind first?” to activate prior knowledge. Explain that today students will uncover how these services fit into a structured industry. Success criteria: label the sectors, describe their links, and diagram the distribution chain.
Lesson Structure:
  1. Do‑now (5') – Students write travel services they used on sticky notes and post them on the board.
  2. Mini‑lecture (10') – Teacher presents the three sectors and their interrelationships with slides.
  3. Guided analysis (12') – In pairs, students examine the distribution‑chain table and match key players to each stage.
  4. Group activity (15') – Groups design a simple tourism package, mapping it onto the chain and identifying sector interactions.
  5. Whole‑class debrief (8') – Groups share findings; teacher highlights correct links and common misconceptions.
  6. Quick check (5') – Exit ticket: write one way a change in transportation could affect accommodation and attractions.
Conclusion:
Recap that the tourism industry operates as an interconnected system where sectors rely on each other and the distribution chain links suppliers to travellers. Students complete the exit ticket noting a ripple effect of a new airline route. Homework: research a recent tourism news story and identify the sector(s) and distribution stage(s) involved.
