10 9395/01/O/N/11 © UCLES 2011 For Examiner’s Use Question 3 Refer to Fig. 3, a news item about a new visitor attraction in Kampong Ayer, Brunei. Kampong Ayer is a unique water village where traditional houses and facilities are built on stilts. The Kampong Ayer Cultural and Tourism Gallery (KACTG) is managed by the Tourism Development Department. The Minister in his welcoming speech said Kampong Ayer is a “must see” attraction for tourists visiting Brunei, as it is the Sultanate’s most unique ‘treasure’. He said the objectives of establishing the new gallery are: • to revive the past glory of the water village so that it will not be made extinct by the rapid pace of modernisation; • to revive the traditional industries of the village; • to diversify the economy and add value to local economic activities; • to create jobs and a source of income for residents; • to make the water village a unique tourist destination and • to support the nation’s aspiration to make tourism part of a diversified national economy. Tourists will now have a chance to learn more about the background, history, traditions, society, arts and crafts of this unique settlement. The gallery has a touch screen information display, which also shows information about other nearby tourist attractions. The five galleries contain background information on Kampong Ayer from its historical origins until the present day, as well as a number of photographs and artefacts loaned by the Museums Department. The central hexagonal stage presents a ‘live’ exhibition of the traditional manufacturing methods of Bruneian hand-woven fabric. The gallery is built in the style of a grand Kampong Ayer house, and with a distinctive observation tower that gives visitors a view of Kampong Ayer and its surroundings. The Cultural and Tourism Gallery has become a new landmark in Brunei. Fig. 3 (a) Identify four positive economic impacts that the new attraction is expected to create. 1 … 2 … 3 … 4 …[4]

14 9395/01/O/N/11 © UCLES 2011 For Examiner’s Use Question 4 Refer to Fig. 4, a news item about the Philippines. Philippines tourist arrivals reach record numbers Tourist arrivals in the Philippines rose by 1.5% to a record 3.14 million in 2008, despite the global financial crisis, the Tourism Department said recently. It explained the rise was partly due to a big increase in arrivals from European markets such as Russia and France. The Department also referred to the opening of chartered flight routes from Shanghai, Nanjing, Guangzhou and Kunming in China, as well as Taipei and Kaohsiung, for bringing more visitors from China and Taiwan. Most tourist arrivals were from South Korea, while the USA was second overall. It said the global economic crisis would be likely to lead to a fall in overseas tourism worldwide and forecast that the rise in tourist arrivals in the Philippines this year would range from zero to 1.9%, “depending on the recovery of key source markets”. Tourism accounts for 6.2% of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP). Fig. 4 (a) Identify the three Asian countries that contributed to the growth in arrivals. 1 … 2 … 3 …[3]

Mark scheme, page 6

Page 6 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper GCE AS/A LEVEL – October/November 2011 9395 01 © University of Cambridge International Examinations 2011 (e) With reference to travel and tourism job roles with which you are familiar, discuss how product knowledge can increase levels of customer satisfaction. Tourism and hospitality professionals are dependent on contact with, and reception of, the public. Such contact means that there must always be some degree of availability to the client, with individual employees having the opportunity to use their initiative and generally to display a strong sense of personal responsibility. In fact, employees in the tourist transaction play an intermediary role between the industry's structure and its clientele. This role is particularly decisive in achieving the results desired by both sides. Product knowledge is thus of key importance in helping to achieve this. The candidate is being invited to consider illustrations of staff product knowledge being used to enhance the customer’s experience. Credit any customer service environment. Examples can include: • giving advice • making suggestions • any attempt to meet customer needs. Use level of response criteria Level 1 (1–3 marks) Candidate identifies/describes some staff/customer interactions within an identifiable travel and tourism customer service situation. Information may be a list of interactions, explanations are incomplete and arguments partial (if present) and lack coherent organisation or reasoned conclusions. There is little or no attempt to discuss. Level 2 (4–6 marks) Candidate identifies/describes a number of valid interactions in an identifiable service situation, shows an understanding of the question and includes explanations/analysis of a number of these, clearly indicating the role of product knowledge. Level 3 (7–9 marks) Candidate shows a clear understanding of the question and includes detailed identification and explanation of staff using their product knowledge to help meet customer requirements. The candidate effectively discusses a range of illustrations, leading to a valid conclusion. 9 3.2 AO1 (3) AO3 (3) AO4 (3)

Not all the information given in Fig. 3 is economic and candidates are expected to be able to differentiate between impacts. Award one mark ONLY for the correct identification of each of four valid positive economic impacts from the following: • to revive the traditional industries of the villages • to diversify the economy • to add value to local economic activities • to create jobs • to provide a source of income for residents. 4 2.2 AO2 (b) Identify and explain three ways in which the new attraction is likely to appeal to overseas visitors. Candidates must clearly identify aspects of the new attraction’s appeal from Fig. 3. Award one mark for each of three valid identifications and then award a second mark for an appropriate explanatory comment about each, such as: • a landmark in Bandar Seri Begawan (1) – built in the style of a grand Kampong Ayer house (1) • observation tower (1) – gives visitors a bird’s eye view of Kampong Ayer and its surroundings (1) • cultural appeal (1) – photographs and artefacts (1) • ‘live’ exhibition of the traditional manufacturing methods (1) – see Bruneian brocade (1) • TIC function (1) – touch screen information display, which also showcases information on other tourist attractions (1). 6 1.4.3 AO2 (3) AO3 (3)

This is quite specific and is set in a slightly wider context than just aspects of the Demonstration Effect, so credit all valid types of conflict between visiting tourists and the host population. Award one mark for the correct identification of each of three valid types of conflict and then award a second mark for an appropriate explanatory comment about the source of each. Valid responses will include: • watersports activity (1) and fishing disruption or disputes (1) • water supply issues (1) – locals vs hotels (1) • property prices (1) – tourist holiday homes and locals cannot afford homes (1) • congestion (1) – honeypot sites (1) • dress (1) – not respecting local cultural sensitivities (1) • damage to sensitive sites (1) – access to sites of religious/cultural significance (1) • foreign language use (1) – can cause conflict through misunderstandings (1) • crime (1) – tourists preyed upon (1) • morals (1) – sex tourism/prostitution etc. (1). Credit all valid types/sources of conflict. 6 2.2 AO1 (3) AO3 (3)

Page 9 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper GCE AS/A LEVEL – October/November 2011 9395 01 © University of Cambridge International Examinations 2011 (d) Discuss the reasons why many tourists now make their own travel and accommodation arrangements. The process of tour packaging has changed dramatically in recent years. The advent of increased competition in the marketplace, combined with consumer access to tourism products without the use of intermediaries, primarily through the use of technology, means that ‘do-it-yourself’ packaging is becoming much more widespread. This allows consumers, individually or as groups, to assemble all the main components of their tour package (flights, hotel, visits to attractions etc.) without the support or use of professional agencies such as tour operators and travel agents. Online booking facilities for travel tickets, hotel rooms and event bookings allow direct consumers to make their own arrangements for virtually all aspects of a vacation. In order to do this, however, consumers require access to the Internet, the skills to use the technology, use of a credit card for payment and the time and skills to search for the wide variety of options available. Use level of response criteria Level 1 (1–3 marks) The candidate identifies/describes up to three valid reasons such as those listed above. Level 2 (4–6 marks) [4 marks] – The candidate makes valid analytical comment(s) in relation to one reason. [5–6 marks] – The candidate makes valid analytical comment(s) in relation to two or more reasons. Level 3 (7–9 marks) [7 marks] – The candidate makes valid evaluative comment(s) in relation to one reason. [8–9 marks] – The candidate makes valid evaluative comment(s) in relation to two or more reasons and comes to a conclusion as to which one(s) are most significant, from any appropriate perspective. 9 1.4.3 AO1 (3) AO3 (3) AO4 (3) 4 (a) Identify the three Asian countries that contributed to the growth in arrivals. Award one mark each for the correct identification of: • China • Taiwan • South Korea. 3 1.2 AO2

Page 10 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper GCE AS/A LEVEL – October/November 2011 9395 01 © University of Cambridge International Examinations 2011 (b) Discuss the reasons why the opening of chartered flight routes is likely to bring more visitors to a destination. Very simply, this invites the candidate to consider some of the characteristics of mass tourism and reference may be made to ideas such as: • tour operators • product innovation • components of package holidays • cost/affordability • accessibility and availability of regional departures within the generating region(s). Use level of response criteria Level 1 (1–2 marks) Will identify up to two appropriate reasons, providing some detail, but will be mainly descriptive. Level 2 (3–4 marks) Can be awarded for an analysis of selected reasons, clearly indicating how the destination will benefit as a result of chartered flight availability. Level 3 (5–6 marks) Can be awarded for evaluative comment about the significance/importance of particular reasons. The better answers will have a reasoned conclusion. 6 1.2 AO1 (2) AO3 (2) AO4 (2) (c) The Philippines Department of Tourism promotes the Philippines as a tourist destination. State three methods of promotion which the Department is likely to use.

Page 11 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper GCE AS/A LEVEL – October/November 2011 9395 01 © University of Cambridge International Examinations 2011 (d) Explain two ways in which the economic benefits of tourism can be spread by the ‘multiplier effect’. The key word here is SPREAD and candidates are not just being asked to describe the multiplier effect but to identify and explain two ways in which positive economic ‘spread effects’ can take place. Award one mark for the correct identification of each of two valid ways and then a second mark for an appropriate explanatory comment within the context chosen. For example, in terms of new hotels: • hotel workers spend their wages in the local area (1) – this stimulates local market demand for goods/services (1) • hotels and staff pay tax (1) – funds improvements to local infrastructure (1) • money spent in a hotel also indirectly creates jobs elsewhere (1) – hotel, for example, has to buy food from local farmers (1) • the demand for local products increases as tourists often buy souvenirs (1) which increases secondary employment (1) e.g. hotel gift shop staff and local craft workers. Credit all valid reasoning. 4 2.2 AO1 (2) AO3 (2)

Page 12 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper GCE AS/A LEVEL – October/November 2011 9395 01 © University of Cambridge International Examinations 2011 (e) With reference to one voluntary organisation with which you are familiar, discuss the ways in which it contributes to the development of the travel and tourism industry. Candidates are invited to illustrate the role of any voluntary sector organisation anywhere. Voluntary sector organisations may include: • charities • pressure groups • community groups. These will often work in partnerships with local public and private organisations to achieve development goals. For example, Tourism Concern fights exploitation in tourism. It is an independent, non-industry-based, UK charity. It has a membership of almost 900 and it works with partners in over 20 destination countries to ensure that tourism always benefits local people. It is the only organisation in Europe actively campaigning on tourism and human rights issues. It works tirelessly to expose and challenge tourism's exploitative practices. Tourism Concern takes a solution-driven approach and has played a crucial role in promoting forms of tourism that provide meaningful benefits to people in destination communities. Use level of response criteria Level 1 (1–3 marks) Candidate identifies/describes some illustrations of a voluntary sector organisation’s activities. Information may be a list of features or actions, explanations are incomplete and arguments partial (if present) and lack coherent organisation or reasoned conclusions. There is little or no attempt to discuss. Level 2 (4–6 marks) Candidate identifies/describes a number of valid roles or actions, shows an understanding of the question and includes explanations/analysis of a number of these activities. Level 3 (7–9 marks) Candidate shows a clear understanding of the question and includes detailed identification and explanation of a particular voluntary organisation’s activities. The candidate effectively discusses a range of illustrations leading to a valid conclusion. 9 1.4.2 AO1 (3) AO3 (3) AO4 (3)
