    3. Presentation (Group Work) (15%):
    In this task each group should imagine that they have been hired by the Destination Marketing
    Organisation of your region and you have been asked to present a critical overview of the trends,
    opportunities and challenges currently affecting your allocated region. You should imagine that you are
    delivering this presentation to a group of potential investors who want to hear about the great aspects
    of the region but what to hear a realistic reflection on the challenges facing the area. Each group in the

      An overview of the destination (Location, Size, Population);
      Key destination market trends (a profile of incoming tourists, their purpose of visit, their spending
    patterns, etc). Note: graphs and tables should be included to support this information;
    Page 11
      Key tourism attractions (3 natural and 3 man-made) and two upcoming events. Explain why are they
    unique to this destination;

      Each student in the group is expected to speak.
      Each slide in the presentation should have no more than four (4) short ‘dot points’ of text.

    MINIMAL notes to refer to during the presentation.
      Dress in appropriate costume relevant to your destination or professional attire
      Engage with the audience (you can be creative with how you do this e.g., teach them some key
    language skills, a traditional dance. Give them a taste of what they would experience at the

    associated with them. If a student is caught plagiarising they may be failed in that piece of assessment.
    Plagiarism occurs when a student passes off as their own another student’s work, or copies without
    acknowledgment of its authorship, the work of any other person.
    Collusion occurs when a student obtains the agreement of another person for a fraudulent purpose with
    the intent of obtaining an advantage in submitting an assignment or other work.
    Whenever you refer to another person’s research or ideas (whether directly quoting or by paraphrasing
    them) you MUST acknowledge the source. Also, copying paragraphs from web pages and presenting
    them as your own work is plagiarism. If you download and copy paragraphs from a web page, you must
    identify the source.
    La Trobe Melbourne will provide plagiarism detection software to assist both staff and students with the
    identification of instances where work intended for submission or actually submitted is inappropriately
    copied from another source either in whole or in part.
    Refer to La Trobe University’s website for information on plagiarism and acknowledging source material:
    http://www.latrobe.edu.au/students/academic-integrity
    Page 14
    Examination Misconduct
    This may take various forms, for example:
      Bringing into an examination forbidden material (notes) or gaining access to such material during
    an examination (e.g. by communication via mobile phone with another person, planting material in
    a toilet, speaking or using hand gestures to communicate with others, etc).
      Copying from an adjacent student in a formal examination.
      Gaining knowledge of or revealing content of an examination in a circumstance in which a student
    has taken the examination earlier or later than the scheduled time.
    Any form of misconduct in an exam will be treated as a serious offence and students will face severe
    penalties. Where the intent of the student is to cheat they will receive zero marks for their exam.
    Should an examination invigilator suspect a student of engaging in examination misconduct, they shall
    normally allow the student to complete the examination. They will complete an incident report, attach
    any relevant evidence, and submit it to the Academic Director within 72 hours of the date of the exam.
    The Academic Director will notify the student of the alleged misconduct in writing via email and give the
    student an opportunity to submit their case. The student shall then be notified of the outcome in writing
    via email. Please note, some exams are open book. If you see somebody using notes, this is not an
    invitation for you to also take out notes. If an exam is an open book exam, it will be clearly stated on the
    front page.
    Assignment Submission
    Assignments must be submitted by the due date. Students must complete the Assignment Cover Sheet
    available from the portal and attach it to their assignment.
    Check with your teacher for submission guidelines. Assignments may be asked to be submitted via the
    portal or handed to your teacher in class. Assignments are not accepted at reception.
    Students must keep a copy of each assignment submitted and must be able to produce the copy in the
    unlikely event that the original assignment is misplaced. Students must maintain backup copies of all
    their assignment work. Electronic loss of data is possible, but is not a satisfactory excuse for an
    extension of a submission date.
    Late Submission
    Extension for medical reasons:
    If your work is late for medical reasons, you will need a medical certificate to cover you from the time
    the assignment was due until the time it is submitted. The medical certificate must accompany an
    application for special consideration.
    An extension of assignment submission for circumstances in the time leading up to the due date must be
    applied for in writing to your teacher at least 48 hours prior to the due date.
    Page 15
    Penalties for late submission:
    Assignments received late and without prior approval will be penalised. A penalty of 5% of the available
    marks will be deducted every working day the assignment is late. Assignments received after five
    working days, and without an approved extension, will receive 0%
    Class Attendance
    Attendance is an important element of a student’s success in their studies and it is strongly
    recommended that attendance is maintained in all classes. All work covered in class is examinable. Poor
    attendance can lead to failure to progress academically. Failing to progress may result in exclusion from
    study, and for international students, this may lead to cancellation of a student visa.
    Attendance will be recorded in all sessions and Foundation Studies students need to be aware that if
    they fail to meet satisfactory attendance requirements, as set out by DIBP, they may be breaching their
    visa requirements.
    For any given trimester, the expected attendance requirement is that all domestic and international
    students attend a minimum of 80 per cent of classes over the trimester.
    Students are expected to attend the full duration of each class. However, students will be marked as
    present for a late arrival within the first hour of each scheduled class. Thereafter, students will be
    marked as absent.

    LEARNING EFFECTIVELY IN THIS SUBJECT
    Participate in all the Learning Activities
    Students should succeed in this subject if each week they conscientiously study the subject at three
    levels:
      The ‘lecture level’. By listening carefully to the on-line podcasts delivered by the lecturer and
    attending the lectures, students become acquainted with the general principles of the subject. They
    also learn the emphasis placed on particular parts of the prescribed reading. Without listening to
    the on-line podcasts you will not learn fully how the subject is structured. The subject is not the
    same as any textbook. It is unique in certain respects.
      The ‘seminar level’. A body of knowledge gained via the on-line podcasts and associated vidoes at
    the lecture level is insufficient to pass the subject. Students need to be able to apply that
    knowledge. By participating in seminars, students practise their techniques and have the
    opportunity to engage and discuss with their fellow students.
      The ‘assignment level’. By completing the various on-line exercises, the essay and delivering the
    presentation, students become familiar with the application of theory in the tourism, hospitality
    and events sectors. They will then be confident to sit the final examination.
    Keep up with your Reading and Revision!
    In this subject is it critical that you keep up to date with your reading and revision of weekly material.
    Each topic builds upon previous ones, so that if you fall behind, it can be very time consuming to catch
    up. Please do not underestimate the content of this subject.
    Read Wisely and Widely
    Please note that the readings suggested in this guide are minimum requirements. The on-line podcasts
    will direct you to the main topic areas that you will need to address. If the text does not provide
    sufficient information on a particular topic, you are expected to access other texts. There are MANY texts
    on tourism, hospitality and events in the library, so it is often a matter of finding one that you prefer.
    Allow sufficient time for group work and study
    It is expected that you will spend on average 10-12 hours per week during semester attending class,
    completing readings, assignments and seminar sessions associated with this subject.
    Please remember that your success in this subject requires a two-way responsibility. It is the job of the
    Subject Coordinator and Tutor to assist you in your studies. It is your job to undertake the required
    academic work, attend class, submit assessment and ask for help.
