QUESTION 6
Wherever food is involved, hygiene is very important.
Study the information below and answer the question.
Due to the importance of the open time buffet area on a cruise ship, we look at what
passengers must not do when utilising the service.
Do not overload your plate. The food will be there for a while.
One of the worst things a cruise ship passenger can do is to use their hands when
dishing up food from the buffet line. There will always be utensils offered to put the
food on the plate; if not, there will always be a member of staff on hand to assist.

above and explain how this illness could have been transmitted. (5)
Unfortunately a virus broke out on the Star Princess Cruise. Study the news article
and answer the questions.
According to a Cruise Hive reader who contacted us, the Star Princess was hit by a
disease on the cruise to Hawaii. The bug was reported by the Centres for Disease
Control, which means more than 33% of passengers were affected during the voyage
after visiting an island.
"The outbreak was not contained in Hilo and nurses in the infirmary confirmed just
under half the ship's passengers and crew had come down with the virus." He went on
to say: "The crew was visibly absent and all services were affected: from slow room
service to those quarantined ... to the closing of one of the main food buffets. Guests,
young and old, fell ill and complained about nausea and vomiting, rapid heart rate and
muscle cramps".
Our reader has said the situation was handled badly.

Essay on: Advantages and disadvantages of the hospitality industry tourism
Published: 23 March, 2015
The growth of e-commerce affects the tourism industry. Tourists are nowadays used to air-
conditioned buses with video and audio systems, central reservation systems (CRS) and the use
of computers in travel agencies. Increased competition will force organisations to use the new
technology to the full. New developments in transportation open up possibilities of new long-
haul destinations.

Statement 5
Will growing, powerful digital technology ever extend into areas that currently require human
skills of judgement? Intelligence is usually defined as "the ability to acquire and apply
knowledge and skills". Most definitions do not include the act of taking decisions and none
address the ability to choose objectives or hold values that shape the decision-making process.

Statement 6
Pepper the robot gets a job at Pizza Hut
The humanoid companion will take orders in Asia by the end of 2016.
SoftBank's Pepper robot is ready for a new career in the food industry. Pizza Hut and
MasterCard are running a trial where Pepper will be used by the end of 2016 to take orders and
provide information. Once the MasterCard is linked with the order, payments can be made and
questions about the calorie count will be answered by Pepper. It seems to be a painless process
and the manlike helper can take some of the workload off the staff. It remains to be seen if it
will be able to manage less-than-ideal conditions.
