Travel & Tourism students Fuerteventura residential

BTEC First Diploma Travel and Tourism students just came back from a very sunny residential in Corralejo, Fuerteventura, Canary Islands.

To succeed with their studies, students have to organise, book, participate and evaluate a holiday destination. Within that concept, they also have to create a day by day itinerary including activities and excursions.

This year, students opted for the following excursions and activities:

• Glass bottom boat trip up to the reefs of Los Lobos Island
• Day excursion with Fred Olsen Express Ferry to Lanzerote’s Playa Blanca
• Day excursion to Puerto del Carmen
• Visit to the local market
• Snorkelling in shallow waters
• Guided visit of Corralejo
• Visit to Corralejo’s National Park
• Day excursion to Fuerteventura’s capital Puerto del Rosario

Students had a good time organising and participating in their own organised trip. Feedback was very good and many did not want to return to the grim local weather after a week in high 20s!

The group was supervised by BTEC National First Diploma course co-ordinator Caroline Lamb. The group was accommodated in the beautiful Oasis Dunas Resort which provided half board breakfast and diner.
