Summary

 

Unit standards in this domain were due or overdue for review.  They were examined over a period of five months by a group of tourism industry advisers who conferred and came to a consensus.

 

The review process was channelled through the Sector Manager – Tourism who compiled feedback from their team and clients.  These unit standards were then endorsed by the advisors from industry as fit for use in the tourism industry.

 

Main changes

 

·      Guidance Information, Performance Criteria, Range statements and some titles were changed.

·      A last date for assessement of the superseded versions of these standards was specified.
