Should tourists
continue to visit Antarctica?
Your travel company wants to begin taking tourist groups to
Antarctica but you want to minimise the impact of the group on this
unique environment.
The company directors have asked you to research the impact of
humans on the Antarctic environment and to prepare and present a
Powerpoint slide show at the next board meeting.
Your presentation should include:
- a report on current groups operating trips to Antarctica
-when did these groups start travelling to Antarctica
-what means of transport do they use to get there
-how long do the tours last
-where do the tours leave from
-what times of the year do the tours operate
-what do they do in Antarctica once they get there
- From your knowledge of the impact of people on the Antarctic
environment, identify the two environmental issues that should be
of greatest concern to the company, giving reasons for your
choice.
Your presentation should make recommendations supported by
evidence for:
- the group size and length of stay
- accommodation options
- any rules that need to be followed on entering and
leaving Antarctica
- any rules that need to be followed while staying in Antarctica
to minimise impact
Finally, your presentation should conclude:
- By providing your personal opinion supported with reasons as
to whether tourism to Antarctica should continue.

Resources:
Using the Edu Utility a blank
power point presentation named 'blankantarctica.ppt' can be placed in each
students work folder. The student then opens 'blankantarctica.ppt'
to complete their work. The 'blankantarctica.ppt' is hyperlinked and can be
viewed in the web browser. This ensures all students have the
presentation saved in the correct folder.
