You are required to choose one of the tourism topics that were covered in weeks 2 to 5, and conduct
extensive research of the most recent scholarly and peer-reviewed literature.
Assessment Description
In this individual assignment, you will be given an opportunity to explore contemporary issues affecting

communication skills by writing an informed and well-versed report.

consult your workshop facilitator to discuss an alternative. Please note that the date range of the
literature must not exceed five years.
In reviewing found literature about your chosen type of tourism, you are required to:
• Map and draw the potential traveller’s touchpoints within the selected tourism type by creating a
chart or diagram (1 page, no more).
• Identify and analyse the central issues in each of the traveller’s touchpoints (400 words);
• Critically examine and evaluate various solutions that hospitality and tourism businesses adopt
to rectify issues you have identified (600 words).
In writing your analysis, you will need to use at least 8 sources of information that are referenced in
accordance with Kaplan Harvard Referencing Guide. These may include corporate websites,
government publications, industry reports, census data, journal articles, and newspaper articles.
