DESCRIPTION OF INTERACTIVE
Spatial significance is all about how you:
- identify where places are located on the earth’s surface based on natural and/or human characteristics (What is Where?).
- determine the unique characteristics of places (Why There?).
- analyse the importance of spatial distribution of people, plants, animals, resources and earth’s physical processes (Why Care?).

In more simple terms, it is about determining what makes a place noteworthy. As far as tourism is concerned, every attraction has something that makes it special. This could be a:
- natural feature (e.g., the Rocky mountains),
- historical event (e.g., the Plains of Abraham),
- cultural importance (e.g., Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump), or
- man-made creation (e.g., Canada’s Wonderland).
