Tourism

What a year it has been! Tourism has been constantly in the news as an industry that has been badly affected by Covid-19, but here at Karamu our three Tourism classes have been busy learning about the many facets of the industry. Students have covered topics such as destinations within NZ and around the world, about the impact of Tourism on society, cultures and the environment and about Tourism work roles. Unfortunately, our regular visit to Rotorua by Level Three students wasn’t viable in this Covid climate but plenty more was happening in the classroom. We had guest speakers visiting us from QRC, NZST, PIHMS and Go With Tourism as well as past students who are now working in Tourism, Olivia Smith and Hannah Stroud. For students who love to travel or enjoy adventure activities, the travel and tourism career path still has plenty to offer and taking Tourism in Year 12 or 13 is still a great subject choice. It’s great that two of our students have been accepted for further study next year at Queenstown Resort College – congratulations Renee and Sophie.
