Historical Tours and Heritage Trails
General definition:
Historical or heritage tourism means traveling with the primary purpose of exploring the history and heritage of a place. Can we say more? Find definitions; find examples around the world. Find similarities and differences between Historical Tours and Heritage Trails. Find examples connected to what you have already studied or discussed with other teachers this year OR connected to your life experience. Choose a destination/tour and collect information on Padlet: https://padlet.com/bianchibarbara/1qgupd112avkh6w2 - add pictures to your post. Prepare an oral presentation of the tour/destination reporting the following information: - name of the place - location - historical relevance of the place - description of the place (what can you see/do there) - duration of the visit/tour - costs to be covered - are guided tours available? (if yes provide details) - connection to your experience or studies |
