Year 11 Tourism – Excursions to Bundaberg Tourist Locations

As part of our current ‘Welcome to Bundaberg’ module, Year 11 Tourism students have been visiting a range of local tourist locations. The purpose of this is to provide a practical application to the audit of the tourism sector in Bundaberg to assist in their assessment project. This project requires students to write a report on tourism in the Bundaberg region, including an audit, an analysis of the profile of tourists visiting Bundaberg, a review of our tourism ‘Destination Plan’ and development of a SWOT analysis. From this, students will propose an attraction or development that will benefit tourism in Bundaberg.

Locations visited included Bargara township and Kelly’s Beach, Elliott Heads and Tinaberries, Splitters Farm, and the Botanical Gardens. Students observed natural and built attractions as well as infrastructure at each location to gain a better understanding of what is on offer for tourists. It will be interesting to see their proposals!!
