1. Exam paper structure:
• The exam paper consists of three sections (A, B and C) for a total of 100 marks.
• Section A consists of four compulsory 10 and 15 mark questions (50 marks in total).
• 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.
• The answers to the questions Section B should be based on the area the question
refers you to which will be either your chosen area or any tourism destination area
you are familiar with.
• Section C is a case study similar to the non-graded activities in your lessons where
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
