IGCSE Travel and Tourism Practice Exam

What describes a scheduled service in travel and tourism?

1. Services provided only to group bookings

2. Regular service between two destinations with a published timetable

3. Flights that are seasonal and vary each month

4. Exclusive services for frequent flyers

The correct answer is: Regular service between two destinations with a published timetable

A scheduled service in travel and tourism refers to a regular transportation service, such as flights or trains, that operates according to a published timetable. This means that the service is designed to run at set times on specific days, allowing travelers to plan their journeys with confidence knowing that the service will be available as per the schedule. These services are typically open to all passengers, making them convenient for both individual travelers and those booking in groups. The other choices do not accurately describe a scheduled service. The first choice refers to group bookings, which is more specific and does not encompass the broader context of regular service availability. The third option points to seasonal flights that change based on demand or time of the year, which do not follow a consistent timetable throughout the year. Lastly, the fourth choice mentions exclusive services for frequent flyers, which implies special treatment or benefits for a specific demographic, rather than the general public accessibility of a scheduled service.
