Paper 2: Alternative to Coursework This is Paper 2: Alternative to Coursework, worth 80 marks with a duration of 1h 30m. Structured questions based on given data and scenarios. Requires clear distinction between products and services, and between different types of promotions. Judgements must go beyond summarising.

This insert must be used alongside the corresponding question paper — it contains the source material you need to answer the questions. In the real exam, this booklet is provided as a separate document. Practise extracting relevant information from the insert under timed conditions, just as you would in the exam hall.

When practising with Travel and Tourism past papers that include insert material, always print or display this document alongside the question paper — just as you would in the real exam.

Many students lose marks not because they lack knowledge, but because they fail to reference the source material effectively.

Generic or vague answers not credited — specificity required

Many responses were generic and not specific enough to be creditworthy0471 Paper 1, June 2023

How to fix: Always qualify your answers with specific detail. Instead of 'pollution', write 'air pollution from increased aircraft emissions'. Instead of 'damage to the environment', specify 'coral reef damage from tourist boats anchoring'. The examiner needs to see you understand the specific mechanism, not just the broad category.

3

Mixing up impact categories — economic vs social vs environmental

How to fix: Learn the three categories clearly. Economic = money, jobs, revenue, investment. Social = culture, community, quality of life, congestion. Environmental = pollution, wildlife, landscape, resources. When asked for 'economic impacts', do not include social or environmental points — they earn zero marks in the wrong category.

4

Products vs services confusion

Responses often gave a service for part (i) or a product for part (ii)0471 Paper 2, June 2023

How to fix: Products are tangible items a customer receives (e.g. a meal, a souvenir, a room). Services are intangible actions performed for the customer (e.g. room service, guided tours, concierge assistance). Before answering, ask yourself: 'Can I physically hold this?' If yes, it is a product.
