Question
- A. Gross National Income (GNI) per head
- B. Population density
- C. Average rainfall
- D. Land use change
Answer
The correct answer is Gross National Income (GNI) per head.
Explanation
The correct option is Gross National Income (GNI) per head. Gross National Income (GNI) per head is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to use an LIC or NEE tourism example to explain how tourism helps reduce the development gap. This belongs to The changing economic world within Section B: The changing economic world, so the answer must stay focused on the geographical process, evidence, place, or impact named by the curriculum. The other options are weaker because they move away from The changing economic world, reverse the geographical relationship, or make a broader claim than the objective supports.
Common mistake
Misunderstanding Tourism's Impact
Students often think that tourism alone can completely eliminate the development gap without considering other factors.
Emphasize that while tourism can contribute to reducing the development gap, it should be viewed as part of a broader strategy that includes investment, education, and infrastructure development.
