Star Ferry

A Star Ferry crossing is said to be an essential journey for all visitors to Hong
Kong. The ferry service carries passengers and commuters between Hong Kong
Island and Kowloon. They operate two routes and run eight ferries. Star Ferry
carries 21.6 million passengers a year with an average of 59 176 passengers a
day.

Star Ferry has received a Certificate of Excellence Award from an online review
site. The recognition is given to organisations which constantly get excellent
reviews on the website and deliver outstanding customer experience. The award
takes into account not only the quality and quantity of recent travellers’ reviews
and experiences, but also the average rating over a twelve month period.

Online review sites are growing in popularity. The sites assist customers in
gathering unbiased travel information, posting reviews and opinions of travel
related content and engaging in interactive travel forums.

Question Answer Marks

1(e) Explain three reasons why tourists may prefer to book a flight 6
directly with an airline rather than through a travel agent.

Award one mark for the correct identification of a preference and award a
second mark for appropriate explanatory development of the preference

• Cheaper ticket price [1] avoid travel agent fees [1]


• Special requirement organised at point of booking [1] direct
communication [1]

• Inflation

Credit all valid responses in context

Level 1 (1–2 marks) will identify up to two valid reasons, providing


some detail but will be mainly descriptive

clearly indicating how these have caused an increase in price

Level 3 (5–6 marks) can be awarded for evaluative comment about the
significance/importance of particular reasons. Better answers will have a
reasoned conclusion

The increasing costs of aviation fuel have led to airlines increasing their
prices [L1]. The cost of the fuel has been passed on to the passenger
through an increase in ticket prices, airlines have to ensure that all costs
are covered to continue operating [L2]. In addition many governments
added environmental taxes to air travel [L1] this tax has to be collected
by the airline and passed onto the government, this is collected within the
ticket price hence the increase in ticket price [L2]. The greatest increase
in price has come from additional taxes such as the environmental tax
[L3]

significance/importance of the way. Better answers will have a reasoned
conclusion.

Credit all valid responses in context

Destinations can limit their marketing/promotional activity [L1] appealing


to less tourists and therefore limiting further demand and tourist numbers
[L2]. Reduced tourists numbers will allow the destination to effectively
manage the carrying capacity issues that they face due to less
overcrowding, therefore securing the future of the destination and the
future appeal of the destination [L3]. However, it will mean that they see a
reduction in tourist numbers and tourist spending [L3]. Destinations can
also build or scale up promotion of other attractions [L1] so that tourists
are diverted to other areas, reducing the pressure/impacts on the honey
pot sites [L2]. This, as a method, has the benefit of the destination still
benefiting from the tourist numbers and spending whilst
managing/spreading out tourist numbers throughout the destination [L3].

Fig. 1 for Question 1

Zambia
Zambia is located in south-central Africa. It is one of the world’s fastest growing tourism
destinations and generates nearly 1 million visitors a year.

The Government of Zambia has implemented the following tourism strategies:

• KAZA Univisa, which allows tourists to visit Zambia and Zimbabwe with one visa

• infrastructure development on the country’s roads

• online visa application

Zambia wants to continue this growth so that tourism makes a major contribution to its economy
and helps to overcome poverty.

The main attraction in Zambia is Victoria Falls, the world’s largest waterfall and one of the
natural Wonders of the World. Tourists are also attracted to The Kariba Dam, National Parks
and viewing the wildlife.

1(d) The Zambian Government has taken a number of strategies to encourage 6


tourism growth.

Explain the likely benefit to the tourist of the following strategies taken by
the Zambian government.

Award one mark for the correct identification of a benefit and award a second
mark for an explanatory development of the benefit

KAZA univisa
• Reduce visa costs/time [1] can easily move around [1] multi centre [1]

1(e) Assess the problems caused when destinations become dependent on 6


tourist.

• Underdevelopment in other areas of the economy e.g. education


• Tourism is very vulnerable to economic, social and political changes
• Skills shortages
• Leakage
• Increased risk of recession/economic downturn
• Overcrowding
• Increased environmental impacts
• Seasonal economy

Credit all valid responses in context

Level 1 (1–2 marks) will identify up to two problems, providing some detail
but will be mainly descriptive

Level 2 (3–4 marks) can be awarded for an analysis of the problems

Level 3 (5–6 marks) can be awarded for evaluative comment about the
significance/importance of the particular problem. Better answers will have a
reasoned conclusion

The Caribbean is the most tourism-dependent region in the world, on some of


the islands, more than half of the work force is employed by the industry [L1].
This can result in traditional skills being lost e.g. fishing [L2] resulting in
negative social impacts [L2]. Tourism is vulnerable to global economic and
social changes [L1] if skills are lost the people and economy of the country will
struggle in the event of a loss or reduction of tourism [L2] this is turn can cause
economic recession and social deprecation amongst the host population [L3] .

Level 2 (3–4 marks) can be awarded for an analysis of the activities, clearly
indicating how the local economy would benefit

Level 3 (5–6 marks) can be awarded for evaluative comment about the
significance/importance of particular activities. Better answers will have a
reasoned conclusion

Business tourists can entertain their clients at local restaurants [L1] therefore
local eating establishments will gain the tourist spend rather then it staying in
the hotel [L2] this will help to spread the economic benefit and may reduce
leakage if the hotel is a foreign brand or owned by foreign investors [L3].

the travel pass helps the international tourist

Level 3 (5–6 marks) can be awarded for evaluative comment about the
significance/importance of the appeal of the travel pass for international
tourists. Better answers will have a reasoned conclusion.

Travel passes appeal to international tourists as they can move around the
destination using different forms of transport without having to purchase
multiple tickets from different providers [L1] this can be a benefit to
international tourists as there is less stress and fewer difficulties
communicating in different languages at ticket offices [L2]. Travel passes also
appeal to international tourists as they can move around the whole area [L1]
underground networks can be central only and to move outside the central
area they will need to use a bus [L2]. Overall the travel passes offer
international tourists convenience. [L3]

Level 3 (5–6 marks) can be awarded for evaluative comment about the
significance/importance of the benefit. Better answers will have a reasoned
conclusion.

Tour operators that have their own chain of travel agents maintain an element
of control over the sale of their products [L1]. They can ensure that they are
sold to the customer with the level of customer service that is representative of
the product [L2] which will allow continuation of the brand identity [L3]. One of
the biggest advantages is that the tour operator will keep all the money from
the sale [L1] not having to share it with the travel agent and therefore losing a
portion of the revenue [L2]. This will help the tour operator to remain successful
[L3].

Question Answer Marks

1(f) Discuss the benefit of looking at tourist reviews sites when planning 6
journeys.

Indicative content:
• Real life review
• Provides unbiased information about the destination/tourism organisation
• Hints and tips
• Find the best services/places to go
• Research prior to purchase
• View traveller photographs
• Variety of opinions
• Positive and negative, aware of difficulties

Credit all valid responses in context

Level 1 (1–2 marks) will identify up to two valid benefits, providing some
detail but will be mainly descriptive.

Level 2 (3–4 marks) can be awarded for an analysis of the benefits, clearly
indicating how the tourist would benefit.

Level 3 (5–6 marks) can be awarded for evaluative comment about the
significance/importance of particular benefits. Better answers will have a
reasoned conclusion.

Example:
Tourists can research tourist review sites prior to their departure or purchase
[L1], they provide lots of different opinions from real travellers [L1]. Tourists
can understand the advantages and disadvantages of a destination and make
plans to overcome any possible issues [L2] therefore guaranteeing a more
successful trip for the tourists [L3]. However, tourist review sites are not
always authentic opinions, some posts are falsified (from competitors) and
may give a false impression [L2]. However the most important benefit is that it
is real life reviews from fellow travellers and tourists can form their opinion
based upon these views rather than biased marketing materials[L3], allowing
them to plan a more successful trip [L3].

of season.

Indicative content:
• Events/festivals
• Special offers/promotions
• Sport tourism (if specific e.g. mountain walking in ski resorts)

Credit all valid responses in context

Level 1 (1–2 marks) will identify up to two valid ways providing some detail
within the context but will be mainly descriptive.

Level 2 (3–4 marks) can be awarded for an analysis clearly indicating how
the way encourages more tourism.

Level 3 (5–6 marks) can be awarded for evaluative comment about the
significance/importance of the way in encouraging tourism. Better answers
will have a reasoned conclusion.

Example:
Destinations can encourage out of season tourism numbers to grow by
holding special events and festivals [L1]. When held out of season events and
festivals give the tourist a reason to visit the destination [L2]. The tourist may
then extend their visit to the destination and see other sights therefore
spending more money within the economy [L3]. Alternatively the government
could work with tourism providers to encourage a coordinated program of
discounts/special offers [L1] encouraging tourists to travel to the destination
bringing more customers and money to the tourism businesses [L2]. This will
have the additional benefit of minimising some negative impacts associated
with tourism e.g. seasonal employment can become all year round
employment [L3] providing economic benefits and increasing the multiplier
effect in the low season [L3].

Question Answer Marks

4(e) Discuss the appeal of all-inclusive holidays to families. 6

Indicative content:
• Budget prior to departure
• Minimal spend when at resort
• Kids clubs and entertainment included
• Popular with families – meet other families/children
• No need to travel out of the resort
• Families may feel safer
• Snacks and drinks are included reducing daily spend

Context has to be all-inclusive and families

Level 1 (1–2 marks) will identify up to two valid points of appeal of all-
inclusive holidays for families providing some detail.

Level 2 (3–4 marks) can be awarded for an analysis clearly indicating how
families benefit from the point of appeal identified.

Level 3 (5–6 marks) can be awarded for evaluative comment about the
appeal of all-inclusive holidays to families. Better answers will have a
reasoned conclusion.

Example:
All-inclusive holidays are good for families because everything is included,
families will know exactly how much they will spend [L1] this allows them to
budget and save in advance of the holiday [L1]. This is good because it can
be expensive to pay for a whole family to go on holiday [L2]. All-inclusive
holidays appeal to families so it is likely that other families will be in the resort
[L1] so children will find other children to play with and enjoy their holiday
[L2]. This will increase their enjoyment [L3]. The biggest advantage to families
is the ability to budget and control their expenditure [L3].

Brazil Tourist Visa Requirements

Brazil hosts only six million international inbound tourists per year. The tourism industry is largely
based on domestic visitors with 94% of tourist spending coming from domestic visitors.

Brazil’s tourism minister hopes that relaxing the country’s visa rules will help develop Brazil’s
inbound tourism sector.

People from 83 countries can currently visit Brazil without a visa. The countries that require
Brazilians to hold a visa to visit their country, must apply for a visa to travel to Brazil. For example
United States, Australia and Canada.

In order to obtain a visa, tourists are required to submit application forms, passports, photographs
and itinerary information weeks ahead of travel. This can typically cost US$160.

Level 1 (1–2 marks) will identify up to two valid promotional materials or two
pieces of information from these materials.

Level 2 (3–4 marks) can be awarded for an analysis clearly indicating how
this could influence/help the tourist to behave sustainably.

Level 3 (5–6 marks) can be awarded for evaluative comment about the
significance/importance of delivering the sustainable message and
influencing tourist behaviour. Better answers will have a reasoned
conclusion.

Example:
Travel agents can provide tourists with leaflets prior to departure informing
tourists of recommended behaviour when at the resort [L1]. Tourists can read
the leaflet before departure and ensure that they are equipped with the right
clothing/equipment to behave responsibly when at the destination/resort [L2].
When tourists adopt sustainable principles it can reduce and minimise any
impacts to the host population and host destination [L3].

Indicative content:
• Basic/affordable accommodation
• Travel cards
• Budget food providers
• Adventurous activities/activities

Level 1 (1–2 marks) will identify up to two provisions for backpackers

Level 3 (5–6 marks) can be awarded for evaluative comment. Better


answers will have a reasoned conclusion.

Example:
Rotorua, New Zealand.
Backpackers are budget conscious tourists who move around destinations
and travel for an extended period [L1]. In Rotorua there is a large choice of
hostel accommodation [L1] for backpackers to choose from, helping them to
minimise their accommodation spend [L2]. There are also plenty of budget
food providers [L1]. Backpackers might be travelling alone and not want to
eat alone in restaurant [L2] as well as having limited budgets [L2].
Destinations need to provide a wide variety of cost effective facilities to
ensure that they maintain/establish a reputation as a suitable destination for
backpackers [L3]. Due to the level of competition in destinations catering for
them [L3].

Fig. 1 for Question 1

Shopping as a reason for travel


For many tourists shopping has become an important reason for travel.

Tourists used to go on vacation to sightsee. By plane, train or car, tourists set out to explore what
the destination had to offer.

North America is home to some impressive natural sights, world-class museums and galleries,
dining, festivals, events and more. Though these attractions still appeal to tourists, a new trend
has emerged: shopping.

Shopping tourism in New York City (NYC)


New York City receives 10 million international tourists each year; the most of any city in the
USA. NYC & Company, the city’s official tourism marketing organisation, estimates that almost
25 cents out of every dollar spent by visitors in New York City is spent on shopping. Travellers
spend approximately $8 billion (USD) in the city’s stores and shops, generating $750 million (USD)
annually in sales taxes for the city.

• the specific content of the mark scheme or the generic level descriptors for the question
• the specific skills defined in the mark scheme or in the generic level descriptors for the question
• the standard of response required by a candidate as exemplified by the standardisation scripts.

GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 2:

Marks awarded are always whole marks (not half marks, or other fractions).

GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 3:

Marks must be awarded positively:

• marks are awarded for correct/valid answers, as defined in the mark scheme. However, credit
is given for valid answers which go beyond the scope of the syllabus and mark scheme,
referring to your Team Leader as appropriate
• marks are awarded when candidates clearly demonstrate what they know and can do
• marks are not deducted for errors
• marks are not deducted for omissions
• answers should only be judged on the quality of spelling, punctuation and grammar when these
features are specifically assessed by the question as indicated by the mark scheme. The
meaning, however, should be unambiguous.

GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 4:

Rules must be applied consistently e.g. in situations where candidates have not followed
instructions or in the application of generic level descriptors.

GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 5:

Marks should be awarded using the full range of marks defined in the mark scheme for the question
(however; the use of the full mark range may be limited according to the quality of the candidate
responses seen).

GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 6:

Marks awarded are based solely on the requirements as defined in the mark scheme. Marks should
not be awarded with grade thresholds or grade descriptors in mind.

Question Answer Marks

1(e) Discuss the possible positive social and cultural impacts associated 6
with selling traditional arts and crafts as souvenirs.

Indicative content:
• Preservation of crafts – skills of making souvenirs
• Increased cultural understanding – educate as produce
• Cultural pride
• Renaissance of arts/crafts

Context must be social and cultural

Level 1 (1–2 marks) will identify up to two positive social/cultural impacts


providing some detail within the context but will be mainly descriptive
Level 2 (3–4 marks) can be awarded for an explanation clearly indicating
how the positive social/cultural impact affect the local
population/country/culture
Level 3 (5–6 marks) can be awarded for discussion of the
significance/importance of the positive social/cultural impact. Better answers
will have a reasoned conclusion.

Creating and selling souvenirs for tourists can result in traditional crafts and
skills being preserved [L1] and being passed down from generation to
generation [L1]. Not only does this preserve skills but it can increase the
perceived value of the traditional skills/crafts within the community [L2]
young people may remain within the community and produce these
souvenirs therefore minimising changes in family structures [L3]. The local
community can take pride in their arts and crafts [L1] often producing them
in front of the tourists explaining the skills and traditions behind the items
[L2]. Therefore increasing cultural understanding and interaction between
the tourist and the host population [L3]. In my opinion the most important
positive impact is, when carefully managed, these arts and crafts are
preserved for future generations [L3] contributing towards the survival of the
culture. [L3]

Question Answer Marks

2(f) Assess the likely factors that have contributed to the growth of 6
inbound tourism in Japan.

Indicative content:
• War and terrorism elsewhere – perceived safer
• Growth in cultural tourism
• Increase in personal wealth in Asia – can afford more travel
• Currency depreciation – more affordable
• Visa rules relaxed

Credit all valid responses in context

Level 1 (1–2 marks) will identify up to two likely factors, providing some
detail but will be mainly descriptive
Level 2 (3–4 marks) can be awarded for an explanation of the factor,
clearly indicating how this creates a growth in inbound tourism.
Level 3 (5–6 marks) can be awarded for assessment of the
significance/importance of factor. Better answers will have a reasoned
conclusion

Japan has seen good growth in inbound tourism; this could be because of
perceived risk of travelling in other countries due to terrorism, [L1] making
Japan more appealing [L2]. Cultural tourism is a growth sector of the
industry [L1] Japan has a unique culture that draws tourists from all over the
world [L2]. I think that there isn’t one reason for the growth of tourism in
Japan it is due to a number of factors. However, the increased interest in
cultural tourism is one significant factor [L3].

Paper 1 May/June 2018
MARK SCHEME
Maximum Mark: 100

Published

This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of the
examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the
details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have
considered the acceptability of alternative answers.

Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for
Teachers.

Cambridge International will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes.

Cambridge International is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2018 series for most
Cambridge IGCSE™, Cambridge International A and AS Level and Cambridge Pre-U components, and
some Cambridge O Level components.

Generic Marking Principles

These general marking principles must be applied by all examiners when marking candidate answers.
They should be applied alongside the specific content of the mark scheme or generic level descriptors
for a question. Each question paper and mark scheme will also comply with these marking principles.

GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 1:

Marks must be awarded in line with:

• the specific content of the mark scheme or the generic level descriptors for the question
• the specific skills defined in the mark scheme or in the generic level descriptors for the question
• the standard of response required by a candidate as exemplified by the standardisation scripts.

GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 2:

Marks awarded are always whole marks (not half marks, or other fractions).

GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 3:

Marks must be awarded positively:

• marks are awarded for correct/valid answers, as defined in the mark scheme. However, credit
is given for valid answers which go beyond the scope of the syllabus and mark scheme,
referring to your Team Leader as appropriate
• marks are awarded when candidates clearly demonstrate what they know and can do
• marks are not deducted for errors
• marks are not deducted for omissions
• answers should only be judged on the quality of spelling, punctuation and grammar when these
features are specifically assessed by the question as indicated by the mark scheme. The
meaning, however, should be unambiguous.

GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 4:

Rules must be applied consistently e.g. in situations where candidates have not followed
instructions or in the application of generic level descriptors.

GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 5:

Marks should be awarded using the full range of marks defined in the mark scheme for the question
(however; the use of the full mark range may be limited according to the quality of the candidate
responses seen).

GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 6:

Marks awarded are based solely on the requirements as defined in the mark scheme. Marks should
not be awarded with grade thresholds or grade descriptors in mind.

Question Answer Marks

1(f) Assess the benefits to Goa’s tourism industry of developing river 6


tourism in Goa.

Indicative content:
• Increased tourist appeal
• Increased tourist facilities
• Increased national wealth from tourist taxes
• Improved infrastructure
• Spread economic benefits to rural areas

Benefits can be economic, social or environmental but must be in the


context of the state/Goa.

Level 1 (1–2 marks) will identify up to two benefits providing some detail
within the context but will be mainly descriptive
Level 2 (3–4 marks) can be awarded for an explanation clearly indicating
how the benefit helps Goa.
Level 3 (5–6 marks) can be awarded for assessment of the
significance/importance of the benefit. Better answers will have a reasoned
conclusion.

Developing river tourism will add river based attractions to Goa [L1] this will
help Goa to expand its tourism industry by attracting more and different
tourists to the state. [L1] Goa should benefit from higher tourists number
and tourist spend as a result. [L2] It will help to draw tourists away from the
coastal areas where they may be experiencing overcrowding/capacity
pressures. [L2] This will result in the economic benefit being spread inland
and into rural areas. [L3] The increased income from tourist spend and
taxes will help to fund further developments of Goa’s tourism industry and
improve the standard of living for the locals as well. [L3]

2(a) Refer to photograph A (Insert), tourists taking a guided tour around an 3


indigenous Maori settlement in New Zealand.

• Preserve heritage/culture/craft/traditions
• Cultural revival
• Increase in cross-cultural understanding

Local level benefits – in context – can be social, economic or


environmental.

Level 1 (1–2 marks) will identify up to two valid benefits, providing some
detail but will be mainly descriptive
Level 2 (3–4 marks) can be awarded for an explanation of the benefit,
clearly indicating how the indigenous communities would benefit. Negative
impacts can be credited if directly linked to a previously mentioned benefit.
Level 3 (5–6 marks) can be awarded for assessment of the
significance/importance of particular benefit. Better answers will have a
reasoned conclusion.

Indigenous communities can benefit from the preservation of their culture


and crafts. [L1] Cultural shows and crafts are displayed for tourists, in doing
so the techniques are shared between the indigenous people ensuring that
they are not lost and the knowledge is continued into future generations.
[L2] The community will benefit from additional income brought in from
hosting the tours, [L1] this money can be used to benefit the community as
a whole for example building and improving community facilities. [L2] Whilst
there are many benefits local communities need to carefully manage
potential negative impacts and protect the local community and culture to
ensure that they do not suffer from commodification and cultural erosion
[L2]. If well managed the community leaders can use the income generated
from tourism to put in place programs that protect the indigenous people,
their culture and communities [L3] ensuring that the benefits are spread
across the community. [L3]

Question Answer Marks

3(e) Assess the risks associated with destinations becoming over- 6


dependent on tourism.

Indicative content:
• Loss of traditional industries
• Economic reliance
• Economic vulnerability – tourism a luxury
• Economic decline/slump – Fashions and trends change
quickly/changes in demand/extreme weather conditions
• Under development in other industries

Note: do not award reasons why tourism demand might fall

Level 1 (1–2 marks) will identify up to two valid risks, providing some
detail but will be mainly descriptive
Level 2 (3–4 marks) can be awarded for an explanation of the risks,
clearly indicating how the destination would benefit.
Level 3 (5–6 marks) can be awarded for assessment of the
significance/importance of the particular risk/s. Better answers will have a
reasoned conclusion.

Over dependence on tourism can make the destination more economically


vulnerable [L1] extreme weather or changes in popularity may result in less
tourist spend. With less tourists coming into the area local jobs and
businesses maybe lost [L2] this in turn will result in less tax revenue for the
government. [L2] Leading to possible economic downturn. [L3] Over
dependency can also lead to a loss of traditional industries as locals focus
on tourism for wealth. [L1] Therefore, when tourist numbers fall there are no
traditional industries to fall back on [L2] resulting in poverty for the local
people and the country. [L3]

Fig. 1.1 for Question 1

Cape Verde Tourism


Cape Verde is an island country consisting of 10 islands in the Atlantic Ocean, off the
coast of Africa. The main island destination in Cape Verde is the island of Sal.

Cape Verde has experienced a rapid growth of tourist arrivals and now welcomes over
500 000 international tourists a year.

Most of the tourism development and investment in the country has been in the islands
of Sal and Boa Vista, where many resorts are all-inclusive.

Research into the tourism industry in Cape Verde has identified the following problems
with the rapid growth of tourism:
• litter on beaches
• increased waste going to landfill sites
• lack of protection of environmentally sensitive areas
• damage to protected beach environments
• limited training opportunities for tourism providers
• limited choice and variety of tours
• lack of arts and craft skills in the local population

Po Lin Monastery

Po Lin Monastery is a working monastery, a popular tourist attraction and a pilgrim site
for Buddhists in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong is a popular stop-over destination for tourists travelling to other destinations
in Asia or Australia. Tourists travelling to Australia may have a 24-hour stop-over in
Hong Kong.

Restaurants, shops and accommodation providers in Hong Kong can apply to be part
of the Quality Tourism Service (QTS) Scheme. The QTS Scheme, administered by the
Hong Kong Tourism Board, assesses the services of tourism organisations to ensure
they meet high levels of product quality and service. Tourism organisations that have
the QTS status can display this in their shop windows and in other forms of promotion.

This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of the
examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the
details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have
considered the acceptability of alternative answers.

Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for
Teachers.

Cambridge International will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes.

Cambridge International is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2019 series for most
Cambridge IGCSE™, Cambridge International A and AS Level and Cambridge Pre-U components, and
some Cambridge O Level components.

This document consists of 12 printed pages.

Generic Marking Principles

These general marking principles must be applied by all examiners when marking candidate answers.
They should be applied alongside the specific content of the mark scheme or generic level descriptors
for a question. Each question paper and mark scheme will also comply with these marking principles.

GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 1:

Marks must be awarded in line with:

• the specific content of the mark scheme or the generic level descriptors for the question
• the specific skills defined in the mark scheme or in the generic level descriptors for the question
• the standard of response required by a candidate as exemplified by the standardisation scripts.

GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 2:

Marks awarded are always whole marks (not half marks, or other fractions).

GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 3:

Marks must be awarded positively:

• marks are awarded for correct/valid answers, as defined in the mark scheme. However, credit
is given for valid answers which go beyond the scope of the syllabus and mark scheme,
referring to your Team Leader as appropriate
• marks are awarded when candidates clearly demonstrate what they know and can do
• marks are not deducted for errors
• marks are not deducted for omissions
• answers should only be judged on the quality of spelling, punctuation and grammar when these
features are specifically assessed by the question as indicated by the mark scheme. The
meaning, however, should be unambiguous.

GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 4:

Rules must be applied consistently e.g. in situations where candidates have not followed
instructions or in the application of generic level descriptors.

GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 5:

Marks should be awarded using the full range of marks defined in the mark scheme for the question
(however; the use of the full mark range may be limited according to the quality of the candidate
responses seen).

GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 6:

Marks awarded are based solely on the requirements as defined in the mark scheme. Marks should
not be awarded with grade thresholds or grade descriptors in mind.

1(e) Discuss the negative impacts of foreign investment when developing a 6


tourism industry.

Indicative content:
Leakage/reduction in multiplier benefits
Loss of control
Workers imported/less chances for locals
Risk of withdrawal

Credit all valid responses in context.

Level 1 (1–2 marks) will identify up to two valid impacts providing some
detail within the context but will be mainly descriptive.
Level 2 (3–4 marks) can be awarded for explanation of how the impacts
affect the development of a tourism industry.
Level 3 (5–6 marks) can be awarded for discussion of the
significance/importance of the impacts. Better answers may have a
reasoned conclusion.

Foreign investment can provide valuable capital that the destination may not
be able to provide, especially if they are an LEDC. However, it comes with
significant risks, such as leakage [L1] profits made from the tourism
organisations will be taken back to the investors' home country reducing the
economic benefits [L2]. The loss of money from the economy limits the
multiplier effects within the country as the money no longer circulates in the
economy [L3]. The destinations' tourism infrastructure can also be
vulnerable as the investors could withdraw from the country at any point
[L1]. This would result in a loss of tourism organisations reducing the
provision available to tourists [L2]. If the country is an LEDC there may be
no local investors able to step in, resulting in a possible loss of appeal in the
destination [L3]. Ultimately many destinations have no choice but to seek
foreign investment, however this does reduce tourism economic benefits
and makes the destination economically vulnerable [L3].

Question Answer Mark

2(e) Discuss the reasons why governments might invest in sea transport. 6

Indicative content:
Improve access to other areas/alternative appeal
Creation of jobs
Environment targets
Develop tourism industry – attract cruises
Reduce congestion/overcrowding

Credit all valid responses in context.

Level 1 (1–2 marks) will identify up to two valid reasons providing some
detail within the context but will be mainly descriptive.
Level 2 (3–4 marks) can be awarded for an explanation of why
governments might invest in sea transport.
Level 3 (5–6 marks) can be awarded for discussion of the
significance/importance of the reason. Better answers may have a reasoned
conclusion.

Governments may invest in sea transport as an alternative method of


transport to provide increased/improved access to an area/destination [L1].
Although this is likely to be a very large expenditure it will benefit the tourism
industry and the local population [L2]. It may also be to meet the strategic
tourism objectives set by the government/NTOs by improving the appeal of
the destination to other sectors of tourism such as cruise tourism [L1].
Cruise tourists are noted to be big spenders when at a destination so
attracting cruises can bring significant economic benefits to a destination
[L2], resulting in a large return on the investment over time [L3]. Developing
and improving sea transport can improve the tourism industry and bring
economic benefits to a destination, however it requires large sums of money
that not all destinations are able to provide, especially LEDCs, and foreign
investment may be sought which brings with it problems of leakage [L3].

customer care policy.

Indicative content:
Provides guidelines for all staff/branches – consistency
Improve customer satisfaction rates
Used for training
Sets out the required standards

Credit all valid responses in context.

Level 1 (1–2 marks) will identify up to two valid reasons providing some
detail within the context but will be mainly descriptive.
Level 2 (3–4 marks) can be awarded for an explanation of the importance
to tourism organisations of creating a customer care policy.
Level 3 (5–6 marks) can be awarded for assessment of the
significance/importance. Better answers may have a reasoned conclusion.

Tourism organisations create customer care policies so that they can


provide guidelines for their staff to work by [L1]. This means that they can
have consistency across all staff and branches so customers are treated
with the same standards throughout the organisational [L2]. This consistent
approach can improve the image and sales of the organisation [L3]. For this
consistent approach to be implemented staff need to be trained in the
required standards of the organisation, the policy can be used as a training
document [L1] educating staff in what is expected of them in detail [L2].
Overall the customer care policy brings many benefits to the organisation
such as educating and controlling the service that is delivered, if done
correctly this can bring improvements in customer satisfaction and repeat
business, therefore improving the success of the organisation [L3].

[L1] working toward the QTS standards may help, or require them, to
improve what they are doing, therefore improving the offering to their
customers [L2]. This should make them stand out from competitors and
improve their organisation over all [L3]. The QTS status can be used in
marketing and promotional materials [L1] which will attract customers to use
their services over others [L2] therefore the organisation should become
more successful [L2]. Overall although gaining accreditation may require
some work and improvement the overall benefits should help the success
and future of the organisation [L3].

Fig. 4.1 for Question 4

Tourism in Tanzania
A new bridge has opened in Tanzania’s largest city, Dar es Salaam, that connects the city centre
to the southern neighbourhood of Kigamboni which is on the Indian Ocean coastline.

The bridge cost an estimated $140 million and was funded by the government. It is hoped that the
bridge will ease problems of overcrowding on ferries and provide a boost to international tourist
numbers.

The bridge will provide easy access to the beach areas south of Dar es Salaam where there are
beaches and luxury hotels, tourist apartments, shopping, restaurants and other leisure activities.

MARK SCHEME
Maximum Mark: 100

Published

This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of the
examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the
details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have
considered the acceptability of alternative answers.

Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for
Teachers.

Cambridge International will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes.

Cambridge International is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2019 series for most
Cambridge IGCSE™, Cambridge International A and AS Level and Cambridge Pre-U components, and
some Cambridge O Level components.

Generic Marking Principles

These general marking principles must be applied by all examiners when marking candidate answers.
They should be applied alongside the specific content of the mark scheme or generic level descriptors
for a question. Each question paper and mark scheme will also comply with these marking principles.

GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 1:

Marks must be awarded in line with:

• the specific content of the mark scheme or the generic level descriptors for the question
• the specific skills defined in the mark scheme or in the generic level descriptors for the question
• the standard of response required by a candidate as exemplified by the standardisation scripts.

GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 2:

Marks awarded are always whole marks (not half marks, or other fractions).

GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 3:

Marks must be awarded positively:

• marks are awarded for correct/valid answers, as defined in the mark scheme. However, credit
is given for valid answers which go beyond the scope of the syllabus and mark scheme,
referring to your Team Leader as appropriate
• marks are awarded when candidates clearly demonstrate what they know and can do
• marks are not deducted for errors
• marks are not deducted for omissions
• answers should only be judged on the quality of spelling, punctuation and grammar when these
features are specifically assessed by the question as indicated by the mark scheme. The
meaning, however, should be unambiguous.

GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 4:

Rules must be applied consistently e.g. in situations where candidates have not followed
instructions or in the application of generic level descriptors.

GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 5:

Marks should be awarded using the full range of marks defined in the mark scheme for the question
(however; the use of the full mark range may be limited according to the quality of the candidate
responses seen).

GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 6:

Marks awarded are based solely on the requirements as defined in the mark scheme. Marks should
not be awarded with grade thresholds or grade descriptors in mind.

cultural impacts, clearly indicating how this affects the locals/pilgrims.

Level 3 (5–6 marks) can be awarded for discussion of the


significance/importance of a particular social and cultural impacts. Better
answers may have a reasoned conclusion.

Tourists may not respect the local religious practices and act or dress
inappropriately [L1] causing conflict and resentment towards the tourists [L2].
They may no longer want to open the attraction/site for tourists limiting what
is available [L3]. There may also be an increase in crime in the area for
example pickpocketing which is common when there are large numbers of
tourists [L1]. This may increase the costs for the attraction/site/destination as
they need to employ security guards [L2]. Overall there are many benefits to
tourism but there are also negative impacts that need to be carefully
managed in order to prevent resentment and further conflict between the
host populations and the tourists [L3].

Credit all valid responses in context.

Level 1 (1–2 marks) will identify up to two valid negative impacts providing
some detail but will be mainly descriptive.

Level 2 (3–4 marks) can be awarded for an explanation of the negative


impact, clearly indicating how this affects the locals/economy.

Level 3 (5–6 marks) can be awarded for discussion of the


significance/importance of the negative impact. Better answers may have a
reasoned conclusion.

Tourism employment is often seasonal [L1] workers have no wage in the low
season and may not be guaranteed a contract for the next season [L2]. This
causes poverty and an unstable economy [L3]. If foreign workers are brought
into the destination to staff attractions and resorts this causes export leakage
[L1] when they take their wages back home preventing the circulation of the
money in the destination’s economy [L2]. Governments can set laws and
regulations and help to educate/train tourism organisations in regard to their
tourism employment so that the country benefits as much as possible [L3].
