SECTION A 20 Marks
1. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow: 5 × 2 = 10 Marks
Travel can be much more than visiting new places. It gives us an opportunity to meet people, understand different ways of life and look at our own habits from a fresh perspective. A thoughtful traveller respects local customs, avoids wasting natural resources and tries to support local communities.
Tourism, however, can also place pressure on the environment. Popular destinations often face problems such as litter, traffic, water shortage and damage to natural surroundings. Responsible tourism therefore requires travellers to make sensible choices. Using public transport, avoiding single-use plastic, respecting wildlife and buying locally produced goods are small steps that can make a difference.
Travel also teaches patience and adaptability. Plans may change, languages may be unfamiliar and food may be different from what we are used to. Learning to respond calmly to such situations makes travel a valuable experience. In this way, a journey can help us understand not only other places and people but also ourselves.
Answer the following:
a. How can travel help us understand other ways of life?
b. Mention two problems caused by excessive tourism.
c. What is meant by responsible tourism?
