The workbook task requires students to do extensive research on key topics within this subject. Based on given scenarios and/or questions asked that are relevant to the key topics, students will have to expand their knowledge and readings by searching additional information from relevant platforms, including but not limited to journal articles, government/industry reports, destination websites, online forums, and/or social media. Prompts will be provided to advise students what kind of information is needed, how to do research and how to structure the response.
