Question
- A. By increasing pollution levels
- B. By providing jobs and income
- C. By reducing the number of visitors
- D. By promoting agricultural activities
Answer
The correct answer is By providing jobs and income.
Explanation
The correct option is By providing jobs and income. By providing jobs and income is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to use a UK glaciated upland tourism example to explain tourist attractions, tourism impacts and strategies used to manage tourism impacts. This belongs to Glacial landscapes in the UK (optional route) within Section C: Physical landscapes in the UK, 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 Glacial landscapes in the UK (optional route), reverse the geographical relationship, or make a broader claim than the objective supports.
Common mistake
Misunderstanding Tourism Impacts
Students often confuse the types of tourism impacts, mixing up positive and negative effects.
Clearly differentiate between positive impacts (like economic benefits) and negative impacts (such as environmental degradation) when explaining tourism impacts in glaciated upland areas.
