• Section A needs to be answered using the area you have used to complete your
assignments.
• Section B consists of two 20 mark questions of which you only complete one. There
is, therefore, an elective in Section B.

refers you to which will be either your chosen area or any tourism destination area

you had to read a piece about a destination and then answer the questions that
follow in relation to the theory. There are five short and longer questions and Section
C counts 30 marks.
• ALL questions require a combination of theory and application in the answer. If only
theory is discussed, a maximum of 50% can be awarded for the question. If only the
chosen area is discussed without any evidence of theory consultation and
