QUESTION 2
2.1 Study the extract below and answer the questions that follow.
The importance of tourism to the South African economy and future
growth cannot be underestimated.
Tourism is a large and growing part of the South
African economy. It provides foreign income, jobs and
household income. All South Africans are part of the
tourism sector whether they are travelling away from
home, hosting guests, or simply giving directions to
someone in the streets. Tourism affects all
communities directly and indirectly.
Tourism is currently the largest exporter and does better than gold as a
foreign income earner.
Unlike other export sectors, which make products and sell them overseas,
tourism brings its customers to the country. The product that is sold is South
Africa itself – the people, the places, the experiences, the food and the wine.
The tourism sector and communities work together for mutual benefit.
Communities welcome visitors in the spirit of ubuntu. The tourism sector
works with communities to create an attractive and safe environment for
visitors and residents.
Tourism is a people's industry.
Tourism is a service-based, labour-intensive sector. An increase in the
number of visitors requires more people working in the industry to serve them.
The tourism sector needs skilled people who are committed to delivering
excellent service.
[Adapted from Tourism Growth Strategy to 2014]

The gross domestic product (GDP) is the total value of … and …
produced and used in a country in one year. (2)

2.3 Read the extract below and answer the questions that follow.
South Africa is committed to
furthering transformation and
redistribution in the tourism industry.
Many South Africans did not have an
opportunity to undertake holiday travel within their own country because of the
apartheid laws. This resulted in mainly the historically disadvantaged South
Africans not travelling.
[Adapted from the Department of Tourism, Medium-Term Strategic Plan
2011/2012–2015/2016]
Today the tourism industry still remains largely inaccessible (not available) to
the majority of South African tourists. There is a growing need to make
tourism more adaptable and accessible to all South Africans.
Empowerment and transformation will ensure new role-players entering the
industry. Empowerment and transformation will also attract new markets and
new products will be developed.

QUESTION 3
Read the extract below and answer the questions that follow.
Careers in green tourism and green jobs have increased in demand because of the
increase in awareness about the planet. More people are supporting environmentally
friendly and green businesses, which is of benefit to the tourism industry.
It has been found that tourists are willing to spend more to stay at an environmentally-
friendly accommodation. As a result of this consumer trend businesses and
entrepreneurs have noted the profitability of going green. This has led to an increase in
green tourism jobs.
You're probably wondering what kinds of jobs exist in this field. Being a tourist guide is
one such job that gives you the opportunity to connect with a wide range of people.
You can educate them about environmental issues and what they can do about it.
Being a tourist guide can hardly be called a job as very few jobs allow you to enjoy
scenic walks and showcase the beauty of your country. Being a tourist guide is
definitely an enjoyable job, but it is also one of great responsibility.
If you wish to get started in this career, you can study Natural Sciences, Tourism,
Hospitality Studies or Communication Studies.
3.1 Besides being a tourist guide, give ONE other example of a green tourism job. (2)
3.2 Explain why it is necessary for the tourism industry to go green. (2)
3.3 State TWO personal characteristics that a tourist guide needs in order to work
effectively. (4)
3.4 There are many perks (advantages) to being a tourist guide. Name ONE
travel benefit. (2)
3.5 State TWO responsibilities of a tourist guide. (4)

QUESTION 4
4.1 Study the extract below and answer the questions that follow.
The Masiphumelele BicycleTour
The Masiphumelele Bicycle Tour is a new type of township tour which
provides tourists with many opportunities to interact directly with the local
Xhosa community.
Tourists direct their spending in the township by purchasing arts and crafts
made by the locals. This also encourages the Xhosa people to showcase their
culture to tourists.
Experiencing township life is enjoyed by many tourists. This benefits the
community both socially and economically.
The use of bicycles during the tour has a low impact on the environment.
Indigenous tree planting and organic farming are practised by the locals. The
tour also promotes the three R's, that is recycling, reusing and reducing.
