Year 7 Tourism Assessment
Creating your own sustainable tourist resort

DULWICH COLLEGE SHANGHAI
Take only photos, leave only footprints
Background Information Ten years ago a new island was discovered off the coast of Thailand. Originally, a small group of settlers were allowed to live on the island and they have since built a small farming community on one section of the island. The Thai government would now like to develop tourism on the island, and you have been selected to design the project. It is now up to you to design what will become one of the most sustainable, ecofriendly tourist spots in the world.
Your task
PART 1 - DESIGNING YOUR RESORT
Your resort must include:

Places for tourists to stay Activities Water supply Food supply Waste disposal (trash and sewage) Transport links
You need to think about:

Who lives there already? Materials you will use - this has a big effect on environmental impact Design - what will your buildings look like? How will you make them attractive? Environmental impact - how will you keep this to a minimum while still giving tourists what they want? How many tourists do you want on the island? Employment and economic opportunities for locals - how do you make your resort good for both tourists and locals?
Your task
PART 2 - WRITING YOUR REPORT
For your nal product, you will submit:

I. An annotated map of the island
You will be given a map of the island. You must add your design plans to the island. Show where you will be locating various tourist facilities, activities, as well as things such as water supply, food supply, and transport links. Remember - every good map needs a title, compass, key, and scale.
II. A labelled/annotated sketch of your facilities You must include a sketch of your design so that people can see what the buildings will look like when they are finished. Your sketch should show all of the following: Size of the buildings Style of the buildings Proximity of buildings to each other How the buildings will fit in with the natural area
III. A written report In your report, you will need to explain the decisions that youve made when designing your resort. You need to discuss all of the following: What facilities and attractions will be available for tourists? How have you chosen to design these facilities (hotels, restaurants, activities, etc.) How are the things youve done sustainable? How will they impact on the island? Your report should be 500-800 words in length.
