Marking of Assessments
On submission of your assessment will be marked for a result of either Satisfactory (S) or Not Yet Satisfactory
(NYS). If you receive a NYS result, you will be asked to redo the tasks again. To achieve a competent result with
this unit, all tasks need to be completed and marked as satisfactory. Your trainer/assessor will provide
feedback to you on each task, outlining where you must improve to achieve a Satisfactory (S) result. When all
tasks are marked as Satisfactory (S), you will receive a result of Competent (C) for this unit otherwise, you will
be marked Not Yet Competent (NYC). Assessments submitted to the trainer/assessor after the due date may
not be accepted, and you may have to pay a resubmission fee / adjustment may apply.
If leaners/learners have any special needs (e.g. physical disability, learning difficulty) regarding assessment,
they should be directed to discuss these with the Course Coordinator. The college will endeavour to make all
possible and reasonable adjustments to any aspect of assessment in order to address those needs. Some
examples of additional support could include:
Reasonable adjustment
Reasonable adjustment refers to any modification made to the learning environment, certification
requirements, training delivery or assessment method to help learners with a disability access and participate
in education and training on the same basis as those without disability (IBSA, 2015). The Disability Standards
for Education 2005 were formed under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992. They clarify the obligations of
training providers to ensure that learners who have a disability are able to access and participate in education
and training on the same basis as those without disability.
The determination of “reasonableness” requires judgement that must take into account the impact on the RTO
and the need to maintain the integrity of the qualification. While reasonable adjustments can be made to the
ways in which evidence of performance is gathered and demonstrated, the criteria for making Competent/Not
Yet Competent decisions (and/or awarding grades) should not be altered in any way. That is to say, the
standards expected should be the same irrespective of the group and/or individual being assessed (Disability
Standards for Education 2005).
Appropriate credit(s) may be granted to eligible students against each unit of competency on presentation of
evidence of successful completion of the same unit in an equivalent or higher qualification. Under the
Australian Qualifications Framework, this qualification recognises competencies achieved as part of a
Nationally Recognised Qualification from other institutes or universities.
Students may also apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) by providing evidence that they have the
required skills and knowledge in the specific areas of competency through work/industry experience and/or
completed eligible assessments in equivalent or higher qualification.
Please refer to college’s RPL/Credit Transfer Policy for more information and applicable procedures. The policy
is available either through the faculty coordinator or college’s website.
Applicable policies and procedure related to this course including plagiarism, assessments, appeals and
complaints, can be found with the course coordinator as well as in the “Policies and Procedures” section of the
college’s website.
Submission of Work
All the written works must be submitted in a hard copy, and an additional soft/electronic copy if required by
the trainer/assessor, with an accompanying “Assessment Cover Sheet”. Each Assessment Cover Sheet should
be signed by the student and must contain student details and date of submission.
Material submitted for assessment—Word processed assignments, reports, essays, projects, etc. must contain
student’s name, ID (if available). Within the context of these assessment tasks, the assessor fulfils the role of
client, manager or supervisor, as applicable. Work submitted for “approval” within this context must
demonstrate care and attention to detail, such that the student inspires confidence that the work is being
undertaken competently.
Unit Overview:
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to access general information on
facilities, products and services available in the local area and to provide this to visitors.
The unit applies to frontline service personnel working in a range of tourism, travel, hospitality, entertainment
and cultural contexts. Information is often provided face-to-face but may be by telephone or other remote
mechanisms.
It applies to frontline service personnel who routinely respond to visitor requests for general local area
information. They may be working independently or with guidance from others in restaurants, hotels,
wineries, attractions, entertainment venues, tour operations, visitor information centres and at tour desks.
Learning Outcomes
As well as demonstrating the performance criteria, to be assessed as competent, the learner must
demonstrate their ability to apply the required knowledge and skills in a range of situations. These are
summarised in the Competency Standards section below.
Performance Criteria
The following performance criteria specify the required level of performance for each of the elements of
competency:

Assessment Plan
Assessments for this unit have been developed by taking into account assessment guidelines as provided in the
training package and evidence requirements stipulated in this unit of competency. Assessment is an ongoing
process of gathering evidence to determine what each student/learner knows, understands and can do in
order to inform teaching and support learning of the intended curriculum.
To collect evidences that demonstrate competency in the performance criteria of the unit and satisfy
skill, knowledge and employability skills requirements
To provide feedback to the learners/trainees indicating the areas of improvement and professional
development
To measure the effectiveness of the delivery plan and evaluate the learning outcomes
The required assessment criteria are provided in each assessment task for learner’s information.
Assessment Method
Assessment in this unit is based on assessment and evidence guidelines provided in the unit of competency
and the training package. The evidence is generated through summative assessment tasks. However, the role
of Formative Tasks is crucial in developing the required skills and knowledge in completing the summative
tasks. Formative tasks enable the trainers to evaluate their own delivery and adjust their facilitation based on
the outcomes from these tasks. The role of formative assessments is to improve learning and adapt to student
needs.
For summative tasks, the following assessment methods are available to collect the aforementioned evidence
to demonstrate satisfactory performance in this unit;
The Written Assessment Tasks and Tests have been developed to address various parts of Performance
Criteria as well as Required Knowledge.
The Practical Tasks are developed to demonstrate competence in Required Skills. These assessment tasks and
activities are mostly designed as in-class assessments, enabling the trainers to observe the work being
undertaken and completed (i.e. demonstration of a specific/required skill). Practical tasks may also include use
of online learning tools, equipment, activities, or use of software. Instructions for practical tasks are generally
provided within the task description. However, trainers/assessor may set certain conditions for conducting and
observing these tasks.
The Project (Individual or Group based) addresses various aspects of competency standard including
Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Employability Skills. The role of the project in assessment strategy is
to measure student/trainee competence as a form of Summative Assessment. It demonstrates the efficacy of
instructions and learning in the prescribed delivery period by assessing the overall performance of the
students/trainees for the purpose of grading/final results.
The Test/Exam is generally designed to test the Required Knowledge component of the unit of competency. It
may also be used to reinforce learning and test specific aspects of other part of competency where knowledge
of certain processes/procedures is required. A knowledge test may be verbal or written as specified in the task
description. Examinations are conducted under set conditions.
Observation forms part of in-class activities, participation in designated group processes, presentation and
provides an option where specific skills need to be demonstrated to the assessor.
Some of the assessments in this course may be used as Integrated Assessments; i.e. to use evidence created in
one unit/task to determine competency in another unit/task. The concept behind the design of the integrated
assessment is to limit repetitive tasks that test the same or similar competency elements in different units of
competency.
Optional/Supplementary Assessments
In addition to the above assessment instruments, the following methods can be used, if required, in the
context of assessment for this unit of competence, especially in the circumstances where assessment involved
components of online learning as well as actual workplace activities and/or performance.
To successfully complete this unit, learners must demonstrate that they have the skills and knowledge needed
as indicated in the Competency Standards (2).
Assessment can be both a formative and summative process. Formative assessment is used to provide
feedback to students and teachers to promote further learning. Summative assessment contributes to the
judgement of student learning for competency/award purposes.
Submission of Work
All the written works must be submitted in a hard copy, and an additional soft/electronic copy if required by
the trainer/assessor, with an accompanying “Assessment Cover Sheet”. Each Assessment Cover Sheet should
be signed by the student and must contain student details and date of submission. Assessment Cover Sheets
are available at the reception.
Material submitted for assessment—Word processed or handwritten assignments, reports, essays, projects,
etc. must contain student’s name, ID (if available), address and contact details. Within the context of these
assessment tasks, the assessor fulfils the role of client, manager or supervisor, as applicable. Work submitted
for “approval” within this context must demonstrate care and attention to detail, such that the student
inspires confidence that the work is being undertaken competently.
Where soft copy/electronic files are submitted, students are encouraged to name the files according to
established procedure. This would typically include a course or unit code, assessment or submission code, and
in the case of multiple files an alphanumeric identifier. Multiple files may also be required to be submitted
within an enclosing folder (with similar, appropriate naming conventions) or archive format—e.g. zip or rar.
Follow submission guidelines in each assessment task for specific instructions.

The partners incorporate the Byron Shire Council, people group, the Destination Byron
leading body of the executives and the guests. The people group decides the social,
monetary and natural maintainability of Destination Byron (Byrd, 2007; Dredge and
Jenkins, 2007; Leiper, 2004; Tosun and Timothy, 2003). The Byron Shire Council
distinguishes and builds up enactment that guides natural administration, which
influences the economical improvement of Byron Bay traveler objective. The
administration board assumes the part of giving the overall bearing of the objective. The
guests' dynamic necessities influence the general running of the cove.
Oar a kayak close by dolphins is one of the extraordinary encounters Byron Bay
proposals to its guests. Byron Bay ocean side has intriguing dolphins, which draws in
guests to this traveler objective. The Byron Bay administration board gives freedoms to
the guests of kayaking with dolphins with their assistance. It one reason numerous
guests crowd at the cove; either to have the main involvement in dolphins by
concentrating on their practices or if nothing else seeing them.
Byron Bay is a fascination place for guests each year. The 2010 report of the
Department of Resources, Energy, and Tourism shows that homegrown guests rule
Byron Bay, comprising 76%. 44%, 32% and 17% of the all out level of the homegrown
guests came from Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria separately. A similar
report shows that 18%, 16%, 16%, 10% and 9% of the global guests came from New
Zealand, North America, 16% the UK, Scandinavia, and Germany. Separately. The
examination was directed in two waves, and in general, 42% made up the day to day life
stage, 32% going with companions or family members, 29% close relative and 29%
accomplices.
There exist numerous persuasive elements for visiting Byron Bay. The Department of
Resources, Energy, and Tourism 2010 report shows that the assortment of things to see
comprised 30% of the justifications for why guests choose to visit the sound. Also, 23%
of the assessment of guests accept that Byron Bay is an extraordinary site for a family
occasion. 23% of the guests consider the straight as an incredible site they could go
through with companions. Also, 21% of the guest assessment demonstrate that
Destination Byron is an interesting site to go through with accomplices. Nonetheless, the
absolute most justification behind visiting Byron Bay are the particular attractions, with
the assessment of public sentiment remaining at 29% ("Byron Shire Visitor Profile and
Satisfaction Report," 2010). Wave 1 of the review demonstrated that Byron Bay is an
extraordinary spot to go through occasions with companions while Wave 2 showed that

Byron Bay partakes in a wide scope of qualities that help its capacity to flourish in an
exceptionally serious industry like the travel industry area. Prominently, the sound is
enriched with a common habitat with appealing elements like sea shores, rainforest, and
headlands. The ocean side gives a site where guests could encounter the breeze of the
district while the rainforest offers a shot at considering the world's uncommon
biodiversity to be plants and creatures like the kangaroos and flying foxes. Hassan
(2000) contend that biodiversity isn't just significant for ecological supportability yet
additionally adds to the travel industry fascination.
Beerli and Martın (2004) support this perspective by contending that one a climate
contributes as a significant component one might have in regards to the picture they will
create about the objective. Moreover, Byron Bay is midway situated inside the travel
industry locale. For example, the inlet gives the closeness to Queensland, a home of
objections, which contenders can't overlook (Darcy and Dickson, 2009). Moreover, the
Destination Byron is an entryway to the picturesque hinterland and lively elements, for
example, the Minyoni fall.
Byron Bay giving admittance to other the travel industry objections in the locale and
supplied with indigenous habitat highlights. In any case, the objective place has
shortcomings that it should address to move its business further. While it is a famous
vacationer location both at the homegrown and global levels, Byron Bay gets guests that
it couldn't deal with. Somewhat, this is because of the supervisory crew to sufficiently
deal with the straight. Then again, the irreconcilable circumstance between the objective
and the inhabitants is likewise a migraine to a consistent administration of the site.
Tonge and Fletcher (2002) contend that the lacking proactive the travel industry the
board has been enduring at Byron Bay. Inhabitants with elective method for
transportation frequently rival the administration to visit guests around the inlet (Tonge
and Fletcher 2002). Barrena Martínez and co-creators (2016) contend that organizations
ought to plainly convey their corporate social obligation plan to the networks they work
to procure authenticity and acknowledgment. Maybe, this is the thing that the Byron Bay
administration board has neglected to do, prompting the irreconcilable situation between
the objective and the Byron Shire people group.
Friedman (2006), contends that the financial development of a nation mirrors the
capacity of individuals in that nation to get to well-paying positions, thus, increment the
saving limits. Accordingly, the developing business sectors give development freedoms
to vacationer locations including Byron Bay (Eichengreen, Park and Shin, 2012). Byron
Bay is an objective for both the homegrown market including Queensland, Victoria and
New South Wales and worldwide guests from such nations as the United States, the UK,
Scandinavia, and Germany. In this manner, it can exploit the financial development in
these nations to steers its business to more significant levels.
Notwithstanding the chances, Byron straight ought to know about the progressively
moving administrative scene. The worldwide environmental change is expanding the
natural use affectability. Thus, there is a probability that Australia would change the
guidelines that deal with the utilization of land to adjust to the global norms. Thus, this
will influence business tasks, with the fundamental setback being the vacationer location
center points as their exercises straightforwardly sway the climate. Esty and Winston
(2009) battle that organizations without legitimate systems to take on the new changes
are probably going to leave, brilliant firms would consistently investigate new aggressive
methodologies. Byron Bay is no special case, which implies it should devise systems to
succeed even amidst the changing administrative scene (Airey and Ruhanen, 2014). The
Conclusion
Byron Bay gives quite possibly the most interesting guest destination with nearness to
different business sectors in the district. The key objective topics, for example, kayaking
with dolphins, untamed life safari and hinterland visit all demonstrations the travel
industry attractions. Furthermore, Byron Bay is a center point for both homegrown
highway and worldwide appearances, drawing in sightseers from Germany, Scandinavia,
the U.S. also, the UK. The SWOT examination demonstrates that Byron Bay is an
objective center in the locale and could become further with the financial improvement
most countries are encountering across the globe. Nonetheless, it should devise
methodologies to enough deal with the expanding number of guests so it can't think
twice about expanding natural use affectability if it should flourish in the exceptionally
aggressive market like the travel industry objective area.
