Dear Tourism Teacher
Data handling is a source-based single-sitting assessment task, where learners
engage with and analyse data. (Abridged Section 4 Amendment of the CAPS
document for Tourism.
Implementation: January 2021, Reference Number 4.4.2).
This task is linked to the following content topics:
• Regional Tourism
• Domestic Tourism Growth Strategy
• Marketing
Skills included in the task:

Every Grade 11 Tourism teacher is expected to draw up a marking guideline. Please
DO NOT use and marking guidelines or resources from the internet or social media,
