The document discusses the concept of regions and defines a travel region as a portion of land distinguished by characteristics that make it popular for tourism. It provides examples of landform regions and language regions before noting that desirable characteristics for a travel region could include natural or cultural features that attract visitors, while places lacking attractions would not be considered travel regions. Students are then instructed to work in groups to divide a map of Hamilton, Ontario into regions based on different criteria and present their analysis, including what might constitute an ideal tourist region in the city.
