RESEARCH REPORT

A 1000-word report on the impact of the coronavirus public emergency on their placement workplace, and the impact locally and nationally on the hospitality sector, and internationally for the tourism sector

1000-word assignment

Research how the current public health emergency (concerning the coronavirus) will impact your placement workplace and the tourism or hospitality sector. You will be writing a report requiring students to search information online, think about your experience about your co-op work up to now, research information, and provide personal opinions (with reasoning).

The assignment must be written in full paragraphs, in your own words, and not in bullet points. You must make sure each section (introduction/placement analysis/workplace analysis/conclusion) is clearly labelled. Avoid using the ‘synonym’ feature on Word. Use your own words.

It is not good enough to state, “The coronavirus will mean less tours/rooms are booked,” you need to explain why and what impact this will have on the workplace and industry. Explain your points. You are encouraged to share your personal opinions, but you must justify them.

We encourage you to actively work on this assignment during these two weeks and keep up–to–date on any provincial/national updates.

Further information concerning the report structure (and suggestions for discussion points – you don’t have to use them all) can be found below:
