Assessment: Case Study Report
Learning Outcome 1: Outline the foundation and history of the tourism, hospitality and events industries and the influence on today's product offerings.

Context:
The tourism, hospitality and event industries encompass a wide range of organisations that operate to meet the needs of consumers in a variety of different ways. While tourism, hospitality and events can be heavily competitive, organisations from industry segments such as airlines, hotels, restaurants & bars, event organisers, cruise providers and tour operators rarely work in isolation, relying on each other to offer quality products and experiences to consumers. In addition, to operate successfully in the future, organisations within tourism, hospitality and events need to keep abreast of consumer profiles & demand, economic fluctuations and environmental concerns, adapting their products & services in response to any changes.
This assessment will allow students to gain an appreciation of the range and scope of organisations within the tourism, hospitality & events industry, as well as how these sectors interact to support each other. Students will also consider external forces that impact on organisations and consider strategies that organisations devise to react to changes in the marketplace.
