To me, for part B, I think you should discuss about the following few concepts (not all but pick and elaborate) :

First, of course explain any terms that needs clarification such as the definition of the elasticities and stuff like that. Then, elaborate on the following :
a) Effect on demand for air travel (Elasticity)
b) Effect on other sectors such as tourism (Complements - Cross Elasticity of Demand)
c) Limitations (Income changes, political disturbances affecting tourism, domestic travels may have other alternatives)

Well, I'm not really good with econs myself, but that's what I think you should talk about? Haha. All the best anyway D:

Hey i get the same question paper with you all guys
However i answered question 4.
Part (a) is the aims and features of free trade area and economic union.
If the aims i write the benefit of free trade and economic union to members , it is right ?

Please give some opinions!!! thanks

They said aims, not benefits. Which means that you were supposed to discuss the purposes and only explain a bit about the benefits which caused them to implement such things. Well, I don't know. I did the lighthouse and lightbulb question lol.

hey this is what i did..........u decide on how much you would give me.......
in a)
i first defined subsidy and then drew diagram on effect of subsiy.......next i drew another diagram shading the govt expenditure showing its increase...............and explaining it and then i drew one more diagram shading the fall in producer expenditure and xplaing it.........8 marks questiion wat would u mark me
b)
first described effect on good with diagram..........fall in price , higher supply more demand. then i referred to its elastcity and  how it would effect the change
then i defined substitutes and compliment good
then for each said the XED as positive or negative and showed therir effects with a diagram eg. increas deman and price forcompliment and fall for substitutes lastly

i said that if it was inferior airline then income changes may affect it.........and referred to the income elasticity of demanm.........it was 12 marks however i feel my discussion was very less at the end.....mark me
