                     • Children travelling under the age of 18 must carry their
                        unabridged (complete) birth certificate.
                     Reasons for the new visa laws include:
                     • To avoid child trafficking
                     • To prevent divorced parents from taking their children under the
                       age of 18 out of the country without the permission of both parents
                     • To reduce the number of illegal immigrants

                     These laws were relaxed (lessened) in the latter part of 2015 due to
                     the decline in inbound international tourists.

                     travel laws on:

                     Pepper spray is an aerosol sprayed into the eyes of an attacker to

                     Explain TWO reasons why pepper spray is a prohibited item and
                     passengers are not allowed to carry it onto an aircraft.                      (4)

QUESTION 8

8.1       Study the information below and answer the questions that follow.

          SUSTAINABLE TOURIST ACCOMMODATION

          THE STARLIGHT HOTELS GROUP

          The Starlight Hotels group takes the sustainability
          of their hotels very seriously.

          The group ensures sustainable practices by reducing costs, being more
          energy efficient and less wasteful.

          Tourists may choose the 'no-cleaning green option' when they book
          accommodation at the hotel. The 'no cleaning green option' means the hotel
          room will not be cleaned or serviced for three consecutive (following) days
          during the guest's stay.

          8.1.1      Identify ONE way in the information above in which the
                     Starlight Hotels group practises EACH of the following pillars of the
                     triple bottom line:

                     (a)   Environmental pillar                                                    (2)

                     (b)   Economic pillar                                                         (2)

          8.1.2      The three Rs (reduce, re-use, recycle) are sustainable practices
                     implemented by the Starlight Hotels group.

                     Explain FOUR ways in which the Starlight Hotels group reduces its
                     carbon footprint through the 'no-cleaning green option'.                      (8)

          8.1.3      Would you choose the 'no-cleaning green option' if you stayed at one
                     of the hotels of the Starlight Hotels group? Give ONE reason for your
                     answer.                                                                       (2)

8.2       Read the statement below and answer the questions that follow.

          Individuals who demonstrate environmentally friendly behaviour at home and
          in everyday life are likely to behave in the same manner when on holiday.

          8.2.1      Do you agree with the statement above? Motivate your answer.                  (2)

          8.2.2      Give TWO examples of environmentally friendly behaviour by tourists
                     visiting an ecologically sensitive area.                                      (4)
                                                                                                   [20]

                                                                     TOTAL SECTION D:              30
