3 .2 – TOURISM DEVELOPMENT

Level 3 Geo Exams 2013

Overall Comments

The questions required some reading and selection of key words.

Both questions were about the effects of TDStudents who planned, wrote a better

answer.Students who included specific information

achieved at a higher level. You must include specific info to achieve higher than a 2

Maps must be appropriate to the question not just a pre learnt one.

Question One

This question was about how the temporal variations of the process of TD have resulted in variations in the environment.

This means you need to talk about how tourism development has changed and how these changes have affected the environment.

This was more than just the story of how tourism happened in the setting

Question One

So …You needed to discuss how tourism

development worked in two (or more) different times

AndHow this affected the environment

Question one

The Map needed to show a change in the environment between time 1 and time 2

The map needed to be annotated or labelled to show the effects on the environment.

There were some excellent maps done. See if you can find one in your class to have a look at.

Good maps got a double tick.

Question One

So the answer should have included The effects you should have talked about

were.More building, new attractions built,

landscape changes, pollution of lakes and rivers.

Also you needed to talk about concentration or agglomeration of features and some dispersal too.

Question two

This question was about the effects of TD on the people and place.

Economic (e+-), Social (s+-), Environmental (en+-)

The effects need to have been linked to a specific place, group, person or amount of money. So not just ‘lots of jobs’ but ‘1 in 4 jobs in Rotorua are the result of TD’

Question two

The good answers were well structured with paragraphs for each type of effect.

Students who tried to include Hawaii struggled as we have not covered this yet.

Make sure you understand how the locations are affected by TD

Question two

The Map had to show the effects in ONE location (RTQ) so you had to label on the map where the effects were seen/occurred.

Good maps used a colour coded system to show types of effects and labelled them as positive or negative.

There were some excellent maps done – see if you can find one in your class – good maps had double ticks.
