Four ready-to-use enrichment activities for KS3 Geography students who have mastered the basics of tourism — ideal for extension tasks, homework, cover lessons, or stretching high achievers. No preparation required. Suitable for students aged 11-14.

Tourism is the movement of people away from home for pleasure, and one of the world’s most important industries. Butler’s Tourism Life Cycle Model describes how destinations rise, peak, and either decline or reinvent themselves — a core concept at KS3.

Each activity targets higher-order thinking: a 12-term vocabulary matching exercise covering all key terms including Butler’s seven stages, disposable income, mass media, and both types of tourism; a 25-mark challenge quiz including a Blackpool data table with visitor numbers and hotel counts across five decades, alongside harder questions on growth factors, the stagnation and decline stages, and an evaluative question on mass media; a 20-mark Benidorm case study tracking the Spanish resort from quiet fishing village through rapid development, signs of stagnation in the 2000s, and its rejuvenation programme, with five analytical questions; and a creative Teach It Back task where students write a clear explanation of Butler’s model for a younger audience, assessed with a provided rubric. Full answer keys and marking guidance are included for all activities. This resource is Google Classroom ready.

Pairs with the main 100-mark KS3 Geography worksheet on this topic, also on TES. Buy both together as a complete lesson bundle and save £1.
