Set Task Brief

ScenarioYou are employed as a graduate trainee by JAS Tours, an inbound operator for tourism to the UK.

Client briefYou have been asked by Alex, your manager, to organise a six-night itinerary for 30 Chinese tourists, aged 25–55, who are visiting the UK for the first time. From the UK they will be travelling to Paris where they will focus on shopping, then they will travel to Rome and Vienna before flying back to China. In total they will be travelling for three weeks.

The group will be arriving into Heathrow at 9.30 a.m. on 2 June, having travelled for a minimum of 15 hours, and they will leave for Paris seven days later on the Eurostar at 10.30 a.m.

They are interested in visiting the following places: Edinburgh, the Lake District, London, Stratford-upon-Avon and York in order to experience UK culture, history, areas associated with famous writers, the countryside and sample traditional British food.

Owing to time constraints, Alex advises that the tourists can realistically only visit four of the five destinations given on the map. Alex wants you to prepare an itinerary that matches their requirements based on the factsheets provided. Alex has asked you to add further information, using your knowledge of the UK where appropriate.

The group will require 13 double rooms and 4 single rooms, with breakfast.

One passenger in a double room has restricted mobility and will require a room near a lift or on the ground floor.

The guide and driver each require a single room.

The group will require four lunches, one afternoon tea and six evening meals during their six-day visit to the UK. Four tourists are vegetarian.

You will need to consider all of the given information carefully to:

ÂÂ prepare the itinerary

ÂÂ justify your findings

ÂÂ respond to further queries.

S54153A 5Turn over

Set Task

You must complete ALL activities in the set task.

You will produce three documents on a computer:

ÂÂ an itinerary

ÂÂ a report

ÂÂ an email.

The map of the UK on page 8 gives the locations of places the tourists want to visit. You have also been supplied with factsheets about the destinations. In addition, you will need to use your own knowledge of the UK as a tourist destination.

Owing to time constraints, the tourists will only be able to visit four of the five destinations. You will need to select the most appropriate destinations based on their interests, all of which are detailed in the client brief. The cost of the tour is expected to be £1,300 per person based on 30 travellers.

Activity 1Prepare an itinerary based on the client brief for Alex. Your itinerary does not need to include costings at this stage as Alex is awaiting confirmation of the client budget.

Total for Activity 1 = 32 marks

Activity 2Write a report to Alex justifying how your recommended itinerary addresses the needs of the client.

Activity 3Alex directs you to use a load factor of 85%.

The tour operator in China is unable to confirm precise numbers at present.

Alex asks you to review the cost for the tour and present your calculations logically in an email so it can be forwarded to the tour operator in China.

Currently, the cost of the tour is £1,300 per person based on 30 travellers.

The email should set out the revised price per person in both GBP (Great British Pounds) and Chinese Yuan (CNY), which has been requested by the Chinese tour operator.

The exchange rate is 1 GBP to 9.086 CNY.

Unit 6: The UK as a Tourist Destination – sample marking grid

General marking guidance

All learners must receive the same treatment. Examiners must mark the first learner in exactly the same way as they mark the last.

Marking grids should be applied positively. Learners must be rewarded for what they have shown they can do rather than be penalised for omissions.

Examiners should mark according to the marking grid, not according to their perception of where the grade boundaries may lie.

All marks on the marking grid should be used appropriately. All the marks on the marking grid are designed to be awarded. Examiners should

always award full marks if deserved. Examiners should be prepared to award zero marks if the learner’s response is not rewardable according to the marking grid.

Where judgement is required, a marking grid will provide the principles by which marks will be awarded.

When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the marking grid to a learner’s response, a senior examiner should be consulted.

Specific marking guidance

The marking grids have been designed to assess learner work holistically. Rows within the grids identify the assessment focus/outcome being targeted. When using a marking grid, the best-fit approach should be used.

● Examiners should first make a holistic judgement on which band most closely matches learners’ response and place it within that band. Learners will be placed in the band that best describes their answer.

● The mark awarded within the band will be decided based on the quality of the answer in response to the assessment focus/outcome and will be modified according to how securely all bullet points are displayed at that band.

● Marks will be awarded towards the top or bottom of that band depending on how they have evidenced each of the descriptor bullet points.
