Paper 1: Core Paper This is Paper 1: Core Paper, worth 80 marks with a duration of 2h 30m. Compulsory structured questions. Parts (a)–(d) test knowledge; part (e) requires analysis and evaluation for Level 3. Generic answers not credited — must be specific to the scenario.

To self-assess your performance, use this question paper alongside the corresponding mark scheme (0471_s26_ms_13). Attempt the entire paper under timed conditions before opening the mark scheme — this trains both your subject knowledge and exam technique. Mark each question and record whether marks were lost due to knowledge gaps, method errors, or careless mistakes.

The most effective way to use this Travel and Tourism question paper is to simulate real exam conditions: set a timer for the full duration, work without notes, and write your answers on separate paper. After finishing, mark yourself using the official mark scheme — do not check answers during the paper. This builds exam stamina and reveals your genuine readiness. Repeat this process across 3–5 sessions to identify recurring weak topics in Travel and Tourism (0471).

Examiner Insights — Paper 1: Core Paper

Based on analysis of 1 official Cambridge documents (2023)

1

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.

2

Long descriptions in part (e) instead of analysis and evaluation

Some candidates gave long descriptions and examples which used up answer space and did not offer analytical development0471 Paper 1, June 2023

How to fix: Part (e) questions require you to analyse and evaluate, not describe. After making a point, develop it: explain WHY it matters, WHAT the consequence is, and make a judgement. A good evaluation weighs up both sides and reaches a justified conclusion — not a summary of previous points.

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.
