Why did Blackpool grow as a
tourist destination?
• Look at the Butler tourist life cycle model on the double
sided sheet. Make your own copy of the graph without
the labels and then annotate with labels that apply to
Blackpool.
• Using the labels on your graph up 1960 and any other
ideas from the text book and sheets write 2 paragraphs
outlining why Blackpool grew as a tourist resort.
How has the increase in tourism been
managed and has it been managed
effectively?
• Make a list of all the attractions that Blackpool
has and split them into natural and manmade.
• Your list of manmade attractions is a good starting point
for how Blackpool’s tourist industry has been managed in
the past. It was very successful until the 1960’s when
people began to look elsewhere (often abroad) for their
holidays. Blackpool did not/could not move with the times.
WHY DID BLACKPOOL DECLINE AS A RESORT?
Managing Blackpool’s tourism for
the future
• Blackpool is still a big attraction for
tourists but it is declining rapidly…
what can be done?
• Look at the single sheet on
Blackpool and page 241 in your
book. Make a list of the ways
people have tried to manage
Blackpool’s tourism. For two of
them explain how effective you
think it has been or might be in the
future.
• Extension: do question 4 p.241
Homework
• Go to the www.visitblackpool.com website. Go to
the ‘inspire me’ tab on the page and choose two
of the options there. For each one describe in
one or two paragraphs how Blackpool is trying to
attract more visitors.
• Explain which of these two strategies you think
may be more effective. Give reasons for your
answer.
• Extra: here’s a news article about Blackpool too
• Holiday homework in please (named)
