Foundation Travel and Tourism
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
WJEC Foundation Travel and Tourism is a two unit portfolio qualification for learners in Years 10 and 11 working at Entry Level or Level 1, with the VCSE Travel and Tourism as a natural next step. Unit 1 explores the travel and tourism industry in Wales and Unit 2 has learners research, design, present and review a new tourist attraction. Nothing requires a computer, so digital work is mostly the teacher's choice. It sits most naturally in Unit 2: researching attractions on sites such as Visit Wales and Tripadvisor, running a survey and charting the results, and making slides or pitch materials. Unit 1 also asks Level 1 learners to explain how technology such as virtual tours, e-tickets and travel apps can make tourism easier and more sustainable.

Researching attractions on tourism websites
In Unit 2 learners use information sources to find out about local, national and international attractions, with the Visit Wales website, Tripadvisor and local tourist board websites named as examples. Level 1 learners present findings from a range of sources, and an example task has them compare at least two, such as Visit Wales and an attraction's own website.

Paratoi disgyblion
- Blwyddyn 7
- Pupils use the Visit Wales website to find three attractions near their school, copy the name, town and opening times of each into a table and bookmark the pages.
- Blwyddyn 8
- Pupils search for a castle and a beach in Wales, change their keywords when the first results are not useful, and record which search words worked best.
- Blwyddyn 9
- Pupils compare what the Visit Wales page and the attraction's own website say about one attraction, noting facts that match, facts that differ and which site is more up to date.

Judging online reviews and how far to trust them
In the Unit 2 work on visitors and their needs, learners look at reviews on sites such as TripAdvisor or Visit Wales to see how a named attraction meets visitor needs. This asks them to think about who wrote the information and how reliable it is, and Appendix A maps Digital Competence Citizenship to LO2.1 and LO2.2.

Paratoi disgyblion
- Blwyddyn 7
- Pupils read five short online reviews of a local leisure centre, printed by the teacher, and sort them into facts and opinions.
- Blwyddyn 8
- Pupils read real reviews of a Welsh attraction and decide which are most useful to a family with a pushchair, giving a reason for each choice.
- Blwyddyn 9
- Pupils compare star ratings and comments on two review sites for the same attraction, look for signs that a review may be fake or out of date, and write a short judgement on how far to trust them.

Da gwybod
- Every piece of evidence goes in digitally: "All evidence must be submitted digitally." Paper work and physical evidence "should be scanned, photographed or filmed so that a clear digital version can be submitted" (Section 3.3, page 42).
- No equipment or software is required: both units state "There are no specific requirements for assessment." (pages 13 and 28).
- There are no tests, on screen or on paper. The qualification "is assessed through a portfolio of evidence that is internally assessed" and moderated by WJEC (Section 3, page 41).
- Teachers choose the tasks, so whether work is digital is the centre's choice: "Teachers have the flexibility to design assessment tasks and activities that best meet the needs of their learners." (Section 3.1, page 41).
- Digital products count as evidence. The list includes "artwork, models, digital media, or other creative products" and video or audio recordings of a learner "giving a presentation" (Section 3.3, page 42).
- Entry 1 learners may use technology for support: "verbal, visual and practical assistance, use of symbols, or assistive technology" (Section 3.4, page 43).
- The specification gives no rules on learners using AI. AI appears only as content, "the potential for the use of AI in the industry" (Unit 1, page 16), and the general malpractice rule applies: "Candidates must not take part in any unfair practice" (Section 3.8, page 45).
- Appendix A (page 50) maps Digital Competence: Citizenship to LO1.3, LO1.4, LO2.1 and LO2.2; Interacting and collaborating to LO1.2 to LO1.5 and LO2.1 to LO2.5; Producing to LO1.3, LO1.4 and "LO2.2 to LO2.6"; and Data and computational thinking to LO1.4, LO2.1 and LO2.2.
Cysylltiadau â chymwysterau eraill
The Foundation course is a stepping stone to VCSE Travel and Tourism and shares four of its digital skills. Researching attractions on sites such as Visit Wales becomes, in the VCSE, researching a destination for a fact file and judging and referencing sources with AI not allowed. The Foundation survey and charted results become a VCSE feedback tool whose responses are collated and used to improve a trip. Foundation slides, posters and pitch materials become VCSE marketing materials such as social media posts and leaflets aimed at a set visitor group, and knowing how virtual tours, e-tickets and travel apps help tourism grows into the VCSE Unit 1 sector test on booking, airport and accommodation technology. Maps, places and the impacts of tourism also link with GCSE Geography.
