M1

Assess how accessibility contributes to the appeal of two European destinations for visitors from the UK.

Help

The focus for M1 is to consider accessibility and how it adds to or detracts from the appeal of a destination.

To achieve M1, you must assess how easily accessible (or not) two selected destinations are for visitors from the UK, and therefore assess how accessibility contributes to the overall appeal of those destinations.

You should consider ease of access from different parts of the UK, cost, travel and transfer times.
