Syllabus updates

We have updated this syllabus to make it clearer and more accessible for both teachers and learners and to make sure that it reflects current educational thinking.

What are the main changes to the syllabus?

To support teachers and learners we have:

  • removed the coursework component to ensure a fair and valid qualification for all candidates
  • updated the subject content to reflect current developments in travel and tourism by moving, updating and adding new topics such as sustainable and responsible tourism
  • presented the content in a more logical way by no longer splitting the content into specific Paper 1 and Paper 2 content, meaning both papers may now draw from any section of the content
  • increased the number of assessment objectives (AOs) from three to four to ensure a smoother progression for learners on to Cambridge International AS & A Level Travel & Tourism qualification, which uses the same set of AOs.

What are the main changes to the assessment?

  • Paper 1 now covers the introductory key concepts, customer service and impacts of tourism at destinations, whereas Paper 2 has now widened its content and focuses on the management and marketing of destinations.
  • We have reduced the number of marks in both papers to 80.
  • The duration of both papers has decreased, Paper 1 is now 1 hour 30 minutes, and Paper 2 is now 2 hours.
  • We have revised the mark schemes for both papers.

When do these changes take place?

The updated syllabus is for examination in from June 2024 onwards. Examinations are available in June and November. Please see the 2024-2026 syllabus above for full details.
