Form 4 National Parks in Mexico

Hi everyone

Your task is to research about the problems and issues faced by the Montes Azules National Park in Mexico. Please try and find out about any benefits/problems created because of tourism and also any other problems linked to conservation, (e.g.deforestation). There is plenty of information on the internet but I will leave up to you to find it. 

Please write this information in your books.

Hi everyone

I hpe that are all fit and healthy. Here are the instructions for the group project:

Leisure and Tourism – group task

 

You have to produce a presentation within a group of 4/5 that lasts at least 10 minutes. You must also produce a report that is at least 3 pages long.  It is up to you to communicate via email and sort out your groups.  The presentation and report must include the following:

Choose an area in one of the following countries: Mexico, Kenya, Spain, Peru, Costa Rica (or another place in the world!) and complete the following tasks:

1.Describe its location and its attractions (physical (mother nature) and human)

2.Describe AND explain the growth of tourism

3.What negative and positive impacts have there been?

4.What solutions have been put in place to try and solve/reduce the negative impacts?

5.What is the future for tourism in your chosen area?

Good luck with this! You will need to communicate with the other members of your group. Please contact me if you need their email addresses. I know it is more difficult than meeting face to face but you can produce a lot of work over the 7 days.
