0471/11 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October/November 2018 © UCLES 2018 Page 2 of 10 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.

Award one mark for the correct identification of a reason and award a second/third mark for appropriate explanatory development of the reason in context: • To minimise social cultural impacts [1] tour operators promoting responsible tourism must try and minimise impacts of tourism by educating customers about behaviour [1] tourists are more concerned about their impact, so want to travel with responsible operators, which will lead to increased sales [1] • Safety of customers [1] may be arrested/imprisoned if they act inappropriately [1] tour operators have a corporate responsibility to ensure customers are safe [1] • Good customer service [1] tour operators should ensure customers are aware as this is good customer care [1] and will improve the tour operator’s public image [1] Credit all valid responses in context. 6 1(d) Describe three ways that tourists can minimise their social and cultural impacts when at a destination.

0471/11 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October/November 2018 © UCLES 2018 Page 4 of 10 Question Answer Marks 1(e) Discuss the role of National Tourist Boards in minimising negative social and cultural impacts. Indicative content: • Provide information via websites/brochures/leaflets • Develop sustainable tourism industry • Inform travel agents/tour operators • Encourage responsible tourism Level 1 (1–2 marks) Will identify up to two valid roles, providing some detail but will be mainly descriptive. Level 2 (3–4 marks) Can be awarded for an explanation of the roles of National Tourist Boards, clearly indicating how it will benefit the country/tourist. Level 3 (5–6 marks) Can be awarded for evaluative comment about the significance/importance of a particular role. Better answers will have a reasoned conclusion. National Tourist boards/organisations have a role in developing a sustainable tourism industry [L1] one way that this can be encouraged is through providing information for tourists for example a web page on appropriate behaviour when at the destination [L1]. Research shows that many tourists do not research social and religious practices prior to departure [L2] and therefore can cause offence to the local population; this highlights the need for government/ministry action [L2]. If negative social cultural impacts are actively managed the industry should be sustainable and bring long term positive benefits to the country and the population [L3] that will not damage the local culture, which is often a reason for the appeal of the destination [L3]. 6

Award one mark for the correct identification of a reason and award a second mark for appropriate explanatory development of the reason in context: • Luxury service [1] 5 star/premium resorts [1] • Too far for boats [1] longer distances/time consuming [1] • Quicker [1] get to resort sooner/good service [1] • Accessibility [1] access easier by seaplane than by boat [1] Credit all valid responses in context. 6 2(d) Explain three reasons why staff in resorts wear uniforms.

0471/11 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October/November 2018 © UCLES 2018 Page 6 of 10 Question Answer Marks 2(e) Discuss what is meant by the phrase “tourist destinations are amalgams”. Indicative content: • Destinations are a combination of attractions, accommodation and tourist services • Combination of products, services and experiences • Made up of elements, destination name is brand Credit all valid responses in context. Level 1 (1–2 marks) Will identify up to two valid characteristics of amalgams providing some detail within the context but will be descriptive. Level 2 (3–4 marks) Can be awarded for an explanation of how tourist destinations are amalgams. Level 3 (5–6 marks) Can be awarded for evaluative comment about the significance/importance of the way. Better answers will have a reasoned conclusion. Destinations are made up of more than one element; they are the combination of different tourism products and services [L1]. The destination name is what tourists associate with the area [L1] but when considering/choosing a destination it is the combination of tourist facilities that appeal to the tourist [L2]. When marketing and developing destinations it is this combination of elements that must be managed and encouraged [L2] in order to have a successful destination [L3]. 6

0471/11 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October/November 2018 © UCLES 2018 Page 8 of 10 Question Answer Marks 3(e) Discuss how terrorism has affected global travel trends. Indicative content: • Domestic tourism more appealing • Countries of recent terrorist attacks less appealing e.g. Tunisia/Egypt/Bangladesh etc. • Switch destinations but keep travelling Credit all valid responses in context Level 1 (1–2 marks) Will identify up to two valid trends 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 trend has changed the industry. Level 3 (5–6 marks) Can be awarded for evaluative comment about the significance/importance of the way. Better answers will have a reasoned conclusion. Threat of terror attacks has encouraged more tourists to stay at home; therefore domestic tourism has seen an increase [L1]. Tourists believe themselves to be safer in their home country [L2] it is easier for them to identify potential risk therefore they feel safer at home [L2]. Families are more concerned about terror threats than younger tourists. However, families have not stopped going on holiday, just switched their destination [L1] choosing areas that are perceived to be safer [L2]. The most positive aspect for the tourism industry is that people are not being put off travelling, they are just changing their habits [L3]. 6

Level 2 (3–4 marks) Can be awarded for an explanation of the positive impact, clearly indicating how it is positive or beneficial. Level 3 (5–6 marks) Can be awarded for evaluative comment about the significance/importance of particular positive impact. Better answers will have a reasoned conclusion. Tourism can encourage the conservation of areas [L1].The need to protect the natural assets for tourism [L2] has the additional benefit of providing long-term conservation [L2]. In some cases if tourists are not attracted to choose the area then the need to conserve maybe overlooked [L3] perhaps to fund development in other areas [L3]. 6
