Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    What is meant by place representation?

    Model answer

    Place representation is the way a place is portrayed to other people through words, images and data. Every representation selects some features of a place and leaves others out.

  2. 2

    Name four media through which places are represented.

    Model answer

    Photography, film, advertising and news journalism all represent places. Novels, music, painting and social media carry place representations as well.

  3. 3

    How does a tourist board's promotional image differ from an everyday photograph of the same street?

    Model answer

    A promotional image is staged in good weather, with litter, traffic and empty shops kept out of frame. An everyday photograph records the ordinary street, including its problems.

  4. 4

    What is place marketing?

    Model answer

    Place marketing is the deliberate promotion of a place to attract visitors, residents or investors. Slogans, logos, events and advertising campaigns are its usual tools.

  5. 5

    Explain the difference between place marketing and place making.

    Model answer

    Place marketing changes how a place is presented to outsiders through image and publicity. Place making changes the place itself, through new buildings, public space and activity.

  6. 6

    How can a television series change visitor numbers to a place?

    Model answer

    A popular series turns its filming locations into destinations for fans who want to see them. Visitor numbers, parking pressure and souvenir trade all rise sharply afterwards.
