The focus for M1 is to consider accessibility in terms of how it adds to or detracts from the appeal of a
destination. To achieve M1, learners must assess how easily accessible (or not) two selected destinations
are for visitors from the UK, and therefore assess how accessibility contributes to the overall appeal of those
destinations. They should consider ease of access from different parts of the UK, cost, travel and transfer time.
