  • GCSE Leisure and Tourism 2009 Unit1.Pdf
    GCSE Leisure & Tourism – Investigating Leisure & Tourism in a chosen area 2.1.2 A Introduction to Leisure and Tourism Leisure Every person has things that they have to do. Many adults have to go to work; someone has to do the shopping, prepare meals, and clean the house and so on. Students and children have to go to school or college and may have homework projects to do after school has finished. Also, every person has to sleep, wash and shower usually for somewhere between 6 to 8 hours each night. When all these things have been completed there is time left over, and this time is a person’s leisure time. During this time, people choose to do what they enjoy doing rather than what they have to do. Put another way: Leisure time is the opportunity available to a person after completing the immediate necessities of life. During this time the person has the freedom to choose what activities to take part in. Another term used is a person’s free time. Some people choose to do very little in their leisure time and may watch television, listen to music or read a newspaper. All of these are very popular leisure activities. They are all things which many people choose to do because they can be done at home and cost very little money. Also, they are activities which people can enjoy on their own. Each person can decide what to do in their leisure time and there are many factors which influence this choice, including the age of the person, their family and friends, their religion and culture, the money they have to spend on leisure and where they live.
