1. INTRODUCTION
The 17 Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement subjects which contain a practical
component all include a practical assessment task (PAT). These subjects are:
A practical assessment task (PAT) mark is a compulsory component of the final promotion
mark for all candidates offering subjects that have a practical component and counts 25%
(100 marks) of the end-of-year examination mark. The PAT is implemented across the first
three terms of the school year. This is broken down into different phases or a series of
smaller activities that make up the PAT. The PAT allows for learners to be assessed on a
regular basis during the school year and it also allows for the assessment of skills that
cannot be assessed in a written format, e.g. test or examination. It is therefore important
that schools ensure that all learners complete the practical assessment tasks within the
stipulated period to ensure that learners are resulted at the end of the school year.
The planning and execution of the PAT differs from subject to subject.
This practical assessment task is the only official practical examination for
Grade 12 Tourism learners in 2019. Under no circumstances may the PAT be
substituted by any alternative practical examination task.
It is the responsibility of the province and the districts to ensure that Grade 12 teachers have
the necessary resources to ensure successful completion of the PAT.
It is the responsibility of the teacher to ensure that all learners complete both phases of
the PAT.
• Teachers are expected to develop a PAT management plan for both phases of the
PAT. The management plan must reflect the teaching, assessment and control of the
PAT. This plan must be done at the beginning of the year.
• Each learner must receive a copy of the section 'Instructions to Learners' (pages 6 to
24 of the PAT document and the templates TOUR03, TOUR05, TOUR06, TOUR07 and
TOUR 08).
• It is the responsibility of the province, district, school and the Tourism teacher to provide
the resources. Learners could also access additional resources on their own.
• Teachers are expected to research and develop their own marking guidelines for
QUESTIONS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9 and 10 BEFORE they commence with the PAT.
• It is the responsibility of the teacher to guide and support the learner throughout the
task.
• The teacher MUST use the assessment tool in conjunction with the marking guidelines
he/she developed. The PAT must be assessed, checked and authenticated by the
teacher before being presented as the learner's evidence of performance.
• Teachers have to provide the learners with the Declaration of Authenticity form
(TOUR03) before final submission of the PAT.
• The teacher must complete and sign the necessary documentation as required by the
Department of Basic Education:
1. Official mark sheet (TOUR01)
2. National moderation instrument (TOUR02) – to be used during moderation
3. Signed Learner Declaration of Authenticity (TOUR03)
4. Teacher Declaration of Authenticity (TOUR04)
2.3 Moderation of the PAT (Internal and External)
Moderation, both internal and external, will ensure that the quality and standard of the
practical assessment task, as stipulated in Section 4 of the Curriculum and Assessment
Policy Statement for Tourism, have been met.

INSTRUCTIONS TO LEARNERS
3. LEARNERS' GUIDELINES
In order for all administrative processes to be completed in time for resulting, learners must
adhere strictly to the time frames set by the teacher.
The table below indicates the time frames for the submission of the 2019 Tourism PAT.
Both learners and parents should take cognisance of the fact that the PAT is an essential
part of the subject. Should the PAT not be completed because the learner was absent
without a valid reason, the learner will receive an 'incomplete' result.
It is therefore imperative that the PAT task is completed and submitted on dates
determined by the teacher.
Learners have to complete and sign a Declaration of Authenticity form (TOUR03) upon
final submission of the PAT. This declaration certifies that the work submitted for
assessment of the Tourism PAT, is the learner's own work.

South Africa is a land of natural wonders, iconic landscapes, astonishing wildlife and a colourful
history. Here in the Barberton Makhonjwa Mountains in Mpumalanga is one of mother's nature
greatest gifts. The history of our planet cast in stone. For decades scientists from around the
globe have been drawn to the Makhonjwa Mountains to study the Barberton Greenstone Belt,
where the best-preserved examples of the oldest rocks in the world can be found, rocks that were
formed 3,5 billion years ago.
Some were sent to the surface in great lava bubbles whilst others were sifted softly from the iron
rich waters that covered the Earth. If you look you will see feather-like traces of the actual tides
that washed the first shores etched in these rocks. Among these relics of early earth found
throughout the Barberton Makhonjwa Mountain range is the first hint of our own existence, the first
glimmers of life traces of singular-celled organisms visible in these rocks. Maybe that is why a trip
to these mountains feel so much like coming home. It is as close as you will ever get to the
Genesis of Life.
The accessibility of this rich story has enabled us to learn so much about early Earth. This scenic
road is part of the legacy left to us by early gold miners. A gateway to Swaziland through some of
the most captivating scenery in Africa. The
road allows you to experience the beauty,
history and wonder of the Barberton
Makhonjwa Mountains at your own leisure.
The beautifully constructed geotrail lays out
the Earth's story along the 40 km route
allowing you to self-drive while taking in a
wealth of information on the way.
Alternatively, you could join a guided tour and
be spell bound by the history of our Earth told
by our passionate guides as they uncover the secrets of these rocks.
It takes about six hours to do the geotrail justice, so pack a picnic basket to enjoy along the route.
As you stop to read the interpretation panels, take photos of the vistas or simply enjoy being at
one with nature.
For many the real magic for the Barberton Makhonjwa Mountains is the unparalleled beauty and
the true sense of wilderness you
experience despite being a stone throw
out of Barberton. Enjoy the sense of
freedom as the valley drops away below
you, the grassy slopes and forested
gorges lose themselves in narrow rock
ravines. Breathe in the fresh mountain air
and immerse yourself in the soothing
sounds that echo through these
mountains.
There is the excitement of discovery too as this is a biodiversity hotspot, extraordinary rocks make
extraordinary soil providing habitats for rare plants.
Each stop along the geotrail provides an
opportunity to expand your horizons. To be
exhilarated by the breath-taking panoramas
refreshed by the sense of isolation and inspired by
the wonder of Earth's story preserved forever in
these rocks. Travel back in time, enjoy the journey
and know that there is no-where else on earth like
this.

Ques
1.1–1.3 Copy Maps A–C for each learner and assist with research to complete the
instructions.
2.1 Revise what WHS status entails. Learners have to find the information on
the UNESCO site in order to write out the criterion.
2.2.1 Learners must identify and write out the four aspects from the criterion.
This information is needed to complete QUESTION 2.2.2.
2.2.2 Learners have to use the FOUR criteria in 2.2.1 and after having watched
the video, find evidence from the video that will match each aspect. It may
be necessary for learners to watch the video more than once, or they can
make use of the video transcript (TOUR06) to assist them with matching.
2.3 Before attempting this question, it is advisable to brainstorm CAPS Grade
12 term 3 week 6 (bullet 5) 'The value of the World Heritage Sites to South
Africa's tourism industry'. Make the information applicable to the BMM.
3. Do not assume that all learners will know how to write a magazine article.
As introduction to this question, teachers must make sure to guide learners
as to the expected outcome. Bring a few travel magazines to class and
discuss the structure (columns etc.), language, tone, layout, pictures etc.
of articles as possible examples. Where possible, encourage learners to
type the article.
Emphasis the EIGHT facts and the creativity and style of language.
4. This question has TWO distinct aspects that have to be discussed before it
is attempted.
6. This 3-day itinerary is only for the THREE days spend at BMM. Refer to
the grey-shaded areas in the instructions to assist learners to understand
that the tour package starts when the learners in their class have already
arrived in Barberton.
It is important to ensure learners understand how to write an itinerary in a
paragraph format.
7. Revise the elements of a tour budget in class before learners attempt this
question. For this question, learners have to use calculators.
Make a copy of the budget template (TOUR08) for each learner. Ensure
learners understand that the cost of the bus is calculated for the Barberton
Makhonjwa Mountains tour package only and learners should not consider
any other form of transport outside the 3 days of the packaged tour. (It is
irrelevant for the calculation HOW learners arrived in Barberton).
For the assessment of the budget, teachers must look at realistic prices
(actual costs) for accommodation, meals and entrance fees, as well as a
link between the activities in question 6 and the budget.
9.1– Revise CAPS Grade 12 term 2 week 5, 'Factors contributing to the success
9.5 of a tourist attraction'. Revise terms and concepts such as 'universal
access, ethical behaviour and sustainability.'
Learners copy the table in question 9 into their PAT books or sheet.
Learners have to look at the factors listed under 9.1–9.5. Learners have to
find evidence from their research how each of these factors contribute to a
successful tourist attraction.
12. The content page must be filed at the beginning of the PAT document and
not at the end. Page numbers must correspond with the actual PAT pages.
Leave the numbering of pages for last, as these may change.
