To complete this assessment, students are required select a Place located in Australia. This could be a resort, hotel, hostel or other form of tourist accommodation; a restaurant, café, nightclub or some other forms of food and/or beverage organisations; a theme park, sport stadium, casino, convention centre, local park, foreshore reserve, national park, or some other form of built or natural tourist attraction; retail travel business, transport hub, bicycle rental business or some other form of transport organisation. In selecting a Place DO NOT select: a) Cavil Avenue Mall Precinct at the Gold Coast or Brisbane CBD as these will be the focus of the field trip. b) a multi-property business such as a hotel chain c) Dreamworld as this will be used as a model for study in workshops. 2 When selecting a Place try to choose one which you have visited; can visit or are familiar with. Much of your research will be based on internet searching but if you can or have visited the Place then you will have a better understanding of its geographical features. The Place can be situated locally within South East Queensland or other intrastate or interstate. Studying a local Gold Coast or Brisbane business will be easier and more interesting. Selecting a single business or geographic area with a building or well-defined boundary will be easier to study. If you can visit the Place, use this assignment guide to prepare a check list of features to observe for each section and subsection during your visit and to help you complete the assignment. If you cannot visit the Place then prepare a check list of features and use the internet, library and other printed material resources (e.g., tourist brochures, guidebooks, development plans, etc.) to compile information and complete the assignment. Based on your reflective observations and evaluation of the Place, develop a portfolio using the guide below.
