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.

To self-assess your performance, use this question paper alongside the corresponding mark scheme (0471_s26_ms_22). 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 2: Alternative to Coursework

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.

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.
