WESTON College students swapped classrooms for a fact-finding business trip to Disneyland in France.

As well as getting to grips with white-knuckle rides at the Paris resort teenagers studying business and tourism gained an insight into how the international business operates in difficult economic times.

The group attended an on-site marketing, human resources and careers conference.

They also enjoyed a whistle-stop tour of Notre Dame Cathedral, the Eiffel Tower and other tourist hotspots.

Business student Chloe Prosser said: “The trip was brilliant and very beneficial for our studies. It was fascinating to find out about how Disneyland operates from a business point of view.”
