This week saw the Lakes District Museum welcome it's first Geography students! Year 13 students from Columba College in Dunedin spent a morning session tracking the temporal and spacial variations of tourism in Queenstown as well as looking at the impact of tourists in the Lakes District.

Using maps student plotted changes in tourism over time; these changes have been largely influenced by increased technology and infrastructure.

Tourism is an ever growing phenomenon in the area. It was first pioneered by early settlers in the late 1800s and with the recent announcement about the expansion of the airport it looks set to continue into the future....

Columba College we hope you enjoyed your visit to us, please post us a blog about it!

This was a great learning opportunity for the girls. Rachel provided a great address that concentrated on how Queenstown has evolved as a Tourism Destination. It was particularly pertinent for looking at Factors bringing change in the Yr 13 course. The girls were engaged with mapping activities and left with some very useful resources that will certainly be useful revision tools towards the end of the year.

Thanks for all your time and help, Rachel. We all really appreciated it!
