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 October/November 2020 series for most Cambridge IGCSE™, Cambridge International A and AS Level and Cambridge Pre-U components, and some Cambridge O Level components.

9395/13 Cambridge International AS & A Level – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October/November 2020 © UCLES 2020 Page 2 of 11 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.

9395/13 Cambridge International AS & A Level – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October/November 2020 © UCLES 2020 Page 3 of 11 Social Sciences and Humanities Subject Specific Marking Principles (for point-based marking) 1 Components using point-based marking: • Point marking is often used to reward knowledge, understanding and application of skills. We give credit where the candidate’s answer shows relevant knowledge, understanding and application of skills in answering the question. We do not give credit where the answer shows confusion. From this it follows that we: a DO credit answers which are worded differently from the mark scheme if they clearly convey the same meaning (unless the mark scheme requires a specific term) b DO credit alternative answers/examples which are not written in the mark scheme if they are correct c DO credit answers where candidates give more than one correct answer in one prompt/numbered/scaffolded space where extended writing is required rather than list-type answers. For example, questions that require n reasons (e.g. State two reasons…). d DO NOT credit answers simply for using a ‘key term’ unless that is all that is required. (Check for evidence it is understood and not used wrongly.) e DO NOT credit answers which are obviously self-contradicting or trying to cover all possibilities, e.g. a scattergun approach to a question asking for n items f DO NOT give further credit for what is effectively repetition of a correct point already credited unless the language itself is being tested. This applies equally to ‘mirror statements’ (i.e. polluted/not polluted). g DO NOT require spellings to be correct, unless this is part of the test. However spellings of syllabus terms must allow for clear and unambiguous separation from other syllabus terms with which they may be confused (e.g. Corrasion/Corrosion) 2 Presentation of mark scheme: • Slashes (/) or the word ‘or’ separate alternative ways of making the same point. • Semi colons (;) bullet points (•) or figures in brackets (1) separate different points. • Content in the answer column in brackets is for examiner information/context to clarify the marking but is not required to earn the mark (except Accounting syllabuses where they indicate negative numbers). 3 Annotation: • For point marking, ticks can be used to indicate correct answers and crosses can be used to indicate wrong answers. There is no direct relationship between ticks and marks. Ticks have no defined meaning for levels of response marking. • For levels of response marking, the level awarded should be annotated on the script. Other annotations will be used by examiners as agreed during standardisation, and the meaning will be understood by all examiners who marked that paper.

9395/13 Cambridge International AS & A Level – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October/November 2020 © UCLES 2020 Page 4 of 11 Question Answer Marks 1(a) Define, using an example, the following terms: Award one mark for each correct definition and a second mark for a correct example. Climate change: Climate change is the long-term shift in weather patterns in a specific region or globally. Unlike global warming, which refers to just one aspect of climate change – a rise in the surface temperature of the earth’s surface – climate change refers to changes in a regions overall weather patterns, including precipitation, temperatures and cloud cover Natural disaster: A natural disaster is a major disastrous event resulting from natural processes of the Earth; examples include floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and tsunamis Accept any other reasonable response. 4 1(b) Explain three ways climate change may impact on the Seychelles. Award one mark for the identification of an impact of climate change and a second mark for explanation of the impact on the Seychelles. There will be a rise in sea level (1) which will flood resorts and destroy tourist areas (1). Climate change can bring higher rainfall (1) and in hot areas this could cause the spread of disease by allowing mosquitos to breed which will deter custom (1). Periods of very high temperatures (1) can make tourists uncomfortable and make them stay indoors which will again deter tourists (1) Tourism developers will have to deal with additional planning (1) for events such as water shortages which may make the country less likely to want tourists (1). Accept any other reasonable response. 6 1(c) Explain three ways the Seychelles may appeal to leisure tourists. Award one mark for identification of a way and a second mark for the expansion. The Seychelles are tropical islands (1) and as such they will experience sunny, warm weather which will appeal to tourists (1) Clean, sandy beaches are found (1) which will encourage tourists seeking sun and sea holidays (1) Not many tourists about (1) so will be very restful (1) Clear water for swimming in (1) which can facilitate scuba diving on the coral reefs (1). Luxury accommodation built from local materials (1) which will blend in with the environment and appeal to ecotourists (1) Good areas for sailing (1) so encouraging adventure activities. (1) Accept any other reasonable response. 6

9395/13 Cambridge International AS & A Level – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October/November 2020 © UCLES 2020 Page 5 of 11 Question Answer Marks 1(d) Discuss how the tourism industry in the Seychelles can be managed responsibly. Indicative content: Natural building materials may be used which will make tourism developments blend in with the local area and other buildings Local suppliers should be used for food and drinks, entertainment and furniture as this will improve the money supply in the local area and spread the benefits of tourism through the local population. Certain beaches could have visitor numbers restricted or stopped at certain times for example during breeding seasons to allow natural populations of animals and birds to regenerate. A one-way traffic system could be adopted which will prevent build up of traffic and reduce resulting noise and air pollution. Waste materials should be recycled such as waste water so that shortages do not occur or are kept to a minimum. Mark according to the levels of response criteria below. Level 3 (7–9 marks) Candidates will show a clear understanding of the question and include detailed discussion of the ways in which the Seychelles may be managed responsibly. Candidates will effectively discuss a range of points and attempt to explain their significance. There is sound and frequent evidence of thorough, detailed and accurate knowledge and understanding of the methods with the use of appropriate terminology. Level 2 (4–6 marks) Candidates will show an understanding of the question and include explanations of a number of ways in which the Seychelles may be managed responsibly. When explaining or offering comments, candidates clearly indicate the specific characteristics. There is limited attempt to discuss. The answer is relevant and accurate and shows reasonable knowledge and understanding with some use of appropriate terminology. Level 1 (1–3 marks) Candidates identify some ways in which the Seychelles may be responsibly managed. The information may be a list of points and explanations are incomplete or lack coherence, there is no attempt to discuss. The answer is basic and shows limited knowledge and understanding of concepts with limited use of appropriate terminology. Level 0 (0 marks) No rewardable content. 9 2(a)(i) Define the term ‘travel motivation’. Award one mark for a correct definition. The term refers to the underlying reason for travel. 1

Mark scheme, page 6

9395/13 Cambridge International AS & A Level – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October/November 2020 © UCLES 2020 Page 6 of 11 Question Answer Marks 2(a)(ii) Suggest three likely travel motivations which could be included in the ‘other’ category. Award one mark for each correct travel motivation. Religion/Pilgrimage Health/Medical Shopping Education/research Sports/adventure Dark tourism Accept any other reasonable response. 3 2(b) Explain three likely reasons why most visitors to Brazil come from the USA and Canada. Award one mark for identification of a reason and a second mark for explanation. The USA and Canada are MEDC’s (1) therefore their inhabitants are likely to be wealthier than those in some other countries (1) The USA and Canada are fairly close to Brazil (1) and so it will be quicker/cheaper to travel from there (1) People in the USA and Canada will have paid holidays (1) and so have the time/money to be able to make this journey (1) As the USA and Canada are close to Brazil there may be more flights (1) making Brazil accessible (1) Accept any other reasonable response. 6 2(c) Explain two reasons why online sources of information are likely to be used by sports tourists. Award one mark for identification of each source and a further two marks for the accompanying explanation of why they would be used by sports tourists. Websites (1) would be useful as they could tell tourists what games are on (1) and where they are/how to get there (1) Social media sites (1) will inform tourists about the best places they can stay in a destination (1) or what else there may be to see there. This will give them a better experience in a place they are not familiar with (1). Transportation websites will be useful (1) as they will give up to the minute details of how to reach the sports venues (1) and this will ensure that the tourists can see the games/activities they would like. (1) Accept any other reasonable response. 6

Mark scheme, page 7

9395/13 Cambridge International AS & A Level – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October/November 2020 © UCLES 2020 Page 7 of 11 Question Answer Marks 2(d) Assess the likely impacts on a destination of hosting a major sporting event. Indicative content: Developments to transport infrastructure such as roads/airport terminals/railways and the actual type of transport used. This will enhance the facilities for the locals and make it easy for tourists to travel around the country. New hospitals, etc. may be built. New hotels and tourist destinations will be invested in so facilities will be improved. All of this will increase jobs Developments like this will often encourage tourists to visit at other times. Mark according to the levels of response criteria below. Level 3 (7–9 marks) Candidates will show a clear understanding of the question and include detailed assessment about likely impacts on a destination of hosting a major sporting event. Candidates will effectively assess a range of points and attempt to assess their significance. There is sound and frequent evidence of thorough, detailed and accurate knowledge and understanding of the benefits with the use of appropriate terminology. Level 2 (4–6 marks) Candidates will show an understanding of the question and include explanations of the likely impacts on a destination of hosting a major sporting event. When explaining or offering comments, candidates clearly indicate how this can occur. There is likely to be a limited attempt to assess. The answer is relevant and accurate and shows reasonable knowledge and understanding with some use of appropriate terminology. Level 1 (1–3 marks) Candidates identify some likely impacts on a destination of hosting a major sporting event. Information may be a list of points but explanations are incomplete or lack coherence, there is no attempt to assess. The answer is basic and shows limited knowledge and understanding of concepts with limited use of appropriate terminology. Level 0 (0 marks) No rewardable content. 9

Award one mark for the identification of the ancillary service and a second mark for explanation. Tour operators will offer tickets for excursions (1) so that the tourist will be able to purchase this with their holiday which is easier for them (1). Tour operators provide car hire (1) so the tourist can get about the destination easily (1) Tour operators will provide excursions (1) so that tourists will get to know the destination. (1) Tour operators can provide wedding packages (1) to take the pressure of organising the event. (1) Accept any other reasonable response. 6 3(c) Explain two ways a hotel may deal with a complaint.
