Created to support the AVCE Travel & Tourism qualification, this Interactive Course Guide links into the full Travel & Tourism Digital Library. Thus users have access to detailed data on every country in Europe as well as a range of non-European countries, and a wealth of information from UK tourist boards, both regional and national.

The guide follows the AVCE topics as follows:

• Unit 1: Investigating Travel and Tourism
• Unit 2: Tourism Development
• Unit 3: Worldwide Travel Destinations
• Unit 4: Marketing Travel and Tourism
• Unit 5: Customer Service in Travel and Tourism
• Unit 6: Travel and Tourism in Action

Units are broken down into several topics, each of up to several pages, which link students directly to relevant library resources. The user has full access to the whole library, complete with the more traditional search engine and drill-down navigation.

In this way, the guide acts as a sort of librarian, pointing users to the right sections and giving examples of specific relevant resources whilst giving them free rein to research the whole collection.

Each unit also includes a dozen or so multiple-choice questions intended for self-testing, to reinforce the key points covered and flesh out the theory with examples.
