This engaging KS3 Geography lesson explores how tourism in Jamaica is used to reduce the development gap. Students are first introduced to the concept of the development gap with clear explanations, indicators, and a custom cartoon visual to make the idea accessible. They then investigate a range of strategies used by countries to close the gap, ranking them in order of effectiveness using a structured activity grid. The case study of Jamaica brings the topic to life through real data, landscape images, and a video activity with a worksheet and teacher answer sheet provided. Pupils evaluate the positives and negatives of tourism, consider sustainability, and apply their knowledge in an extension task on the multiplier effect.
