                                 VENICE: TOO MANY VISITORS?
          Venice, a city built on more than 100 small islands in a lagoon, is one of
          the most visited cities in the world. Its canals, bridges and historic buildings
          form part of a World Heritage Site. On busy days the narrow streets are so
          crowded with day visitors that residents struggle to get to work or school.
          Many residents have moved away because homes are being rented out to
          tourists and everyday shops have been replaced by souvenir shops.
          To manage the problem, Italy banned large cruise ships from sailing through
          the city centre in 2021. In 2024 Venice started charging day visitors an
          access fee to enter the historic centre on the busiest days. Tour groups
          are now limited to 25 people.

QUESTION 10
10.1      Study the e-mail below and answer the questions that follow.

          To: bookings@ezinkalweni.example                 Subject: Very poor day tour
          Dear Manager
          On Saturday our group of 12 waited 50 minutes at the hotel for the tour bus.
          The bus had no air conditioning on a 34 ◦ C day. When my mother asked
          the guide to slow down, he rolled his eyes and walked away. We paid for a
          full-day tour, but we were back at the hotel by 13:00. I expect a reply.
          Mrs T. Naidoo
            [Source: Examiner’s own creation – the business and the customer are fictional]
          10.1.1     Identify TWO complaints made by Mrs Naidoo.                               (2)
          10.1.2     Discuss TWO ways in which poor customer service, as described
                     in the e-mail, can affect the tour company.                               (4)
          10.1.3     Recommend the most suitable method of communication that the
                     manager should use to respond to Mrs Naidoo, and give ONE
                     reason for your answer.                                                   (2)
