Queensland's Tourism Minister, Merri Rose, and Education Minister, Dean Wells, have jointly launched a module which brings tourism into the classroom for Queensland high school students. Ms Rose said Tourism Queensland had developed the online module, Tourism Culture and Change, to meet the increasing demand for high-quality educational information on Queensland's second largest industry. Many of today's school students will tomorrow have careers in tourism and it is important they understand the industry, its role in Queensland and the opportunities open to them. Mr Wells said the online module was developed in close consultation with the Queensland School Curriculum Council.
Students can log on and work at their own pace through activities and tasks.
