York Travel & Tourism VisitOn Monday, 8th October, 30 Travel and Tourism students travelled to York City for a fantastic action packed day, which began with a tour of the ‘Superbreak’

holiday company offices and ended with a trip to the National Railway Museum. Led by Miss Henstock and Mr Haigh, students experienced what being a tourist

in another city was like by visiting the Tourist Information Centre and seeking local information about things to do. Everyone dined together and there was

even time for a spot of shopping (girls! ). Students commented on how beautiful York was and how nice it was to experience another city.

The main educational purpose of the visit was to discover career opportunities at Superbreak in order to complete their Unit 6 assignments ‘Preparing for

Employment in Travel and Tourism’. Students were on absolute best behaviour and asked lots of suitable questions in order them to get the best grades in their

work… distinction plus here we all come
