    • Turning farming land into towns and cities
    • Protecting nature and wild animals so that they survive
    • Selling wild animals to visitors at local markets
    • Building new roads through national parks so that more vehicles can drive into the grassland

  8. Name one benefit that tourism brings to Kenya.

    • Money from visitors creates jobs for local drivers and guides
    • Vehicles frighten animals and damage the grassland
    • Animals are moved away from their natural homes
    • Litter from visitors spoils beaches and parks, so the government must pay for new hotels

  9. A national park earns money from tourists and uses some of it to pay rangers who protect animals. Which idea does this show?

    • Visitors stop coming when animals are protected
    • Tourism money can fund conservation
    • Tourist money leaves Kenya for foreign companies
    • Tourism always causes litter and damage to nature

  10. About 0.9 million tourists visited Kenya in 2021 and about 2.1 million in 2023. By roughly how much did visitor numbers rise?

    • About 1.2 million
    • About 0.9 million
    • About 2.1 million
    • About 3 million

  11. Which of these is a cost of tourism in a national park?

    • Visitors pay park tickets that fund ranger patrols and new schools for children in nearby villages
    • Tour guides are hired from villages close to the park
    • Too many vehicles frighten animals and damage the grassland
    • Hotels employ cooks and cleaners from the local area

    • A lion
    • A penguin
    • A reindeer grazing on snow
    • A polar bear

  13. A pupil says all tourist money stays in Kenya. Which response is most accurate?

    • None of it helps Kenya, because visitors never pay for anything
    • It all goes to Nairobi, so villages never see any money from tourists who visit the parks and beaches
    • All of it stays in Kenya, because visitors only buy local goods
    • Some money leaves Kenya because foreign companies take a share of the income

  14. A photo shows many safari vehicles crowded around a single lion. What is the most likely effect on the lion?

    • It becomes tamer and starts hunting more animals
    • It moves to the coast to find food, because the savanna grass grows faster near the sea
    • It may be stressed or frightened, which can change its natural behaviour
    • It grows larger because of the extra attention

  15. A village near a park wants more of the tourist income. Which idea would share benefits most directly with local people?

    • Hire local guides and sell crafts made in the village
    • Build one large hotel run only by a foreign company
    • Move the village shops to the capital city, where tourists from the coast can buy souvenirs
    • Ban all visitors so the grassland is never used

  16. Which statement best explains why a fall in tourists in 2021 would harm local people?

    • Fewer visitors means the savanna dries up and farms flood, so local people must move to the coast
    • Fewer visitors means cheaper flights, so farmers sell more crops
    • Fewer visitors means more money for animals, so local jobs grow
    • Fewer visitors means less money for guides, drivers and hotels, so jobs can be lost

  17. A safari day costs £150 per visitor. How much money do 400 visitors pay altogether?

    • £60,000
    • £54,000
    • £6,000
    • £600,000

  18. Which statement best describes tourism in Kenya?

    • It brings no benefits to anyone at all, so the national parks should be closed and banned completely
    • It only harms nature, because visitors always leave litter behind
    • It only brings benefits, because every visitor pays for conservation
    • It brings money, jobs and conservation funding, but can also damage nature and send some money abroad

  19. A park earns money from tourists, but its grassland is badly worn by vehicles. Which action best balances benefits and costs?

    • Close the park permanently and stop all tourist income, so that the grassland can recover fully
    • Set limits on vehicles and use some ticket income to repair the grassland
    • Double the number of vehicles to earn more money quickly
    • Let vehicles drive anywhere, since the grass will grow back

  20. Why is it helpful to spread tourist spending into local villages, not only into big hotels?

    • Villages are cheaper, so visitors spend less money overall
    • More local people gain jobs and income, not only the big companies
    • Money spent in villages always leaves the country quickly
    • Big hotels are not allowed to pay local staff wages, so most villages receive no income from tourism
