Describe the needs of inbound and domestic visitors to UK destinations (P2). You should select two
inbound visitors of two different nationalities and two differing motivati

example, a couple from Japan who wish to visit all the capital cities of the UK and a group of students
from France who are attending a sporting event. You must also select two different types of domestic
visitors with different motivations, e.g. a family with young children wanting a d
a
y visit to a theme park
and a retired couple looking for a week's stay in a city. For each type of visitor you
must cover - access to
information, accommodation range, cost and standards, transport, accessibility, customer service, value
for money and activities.

o
f
