Paper B Term Paper ~ Pass"
Allyson, you have clearly met the pass criteria for Learning Outcome 1. In your Legal & Ethical Compliance Plan, you successfully identified and explained key legal and ethical concepts that are directly relevant to tourism and hospitality, such as data protection, consumer rights, labour law, environmental regulation, and cultural protection, which satisfies criterion 1.1. The way you correctly used terms like GDPR, the Data Protection Act, consumer protection, and sustainability ethics shows that you understand not just the names of the frameworks but also their meaning and purpose for IslandX operations. Alongside this, your contributions across the term to class discussions and ethical case activities, and the way you drew on those ideas in your written work, demonstrate that you have engaged thoughtfully with legal and ethical dilemmas in the industry, meeting 1.2. By analysing how these laws and regulations affect marketing, HR, data handling, and environmental practices in your plan, you have also shown that you can interpret legislation and explain its implications for a tourism business, successfully meeting 1.3.

Learning Outcome 2: "Paper A Exam ~ Pass

This is a strong submission that demonstrates good understanding of stakeholder dynamics and ethical challenges within the sharing economy. With clearer use of theoretical models and slightly deeper critical evaluation, this work could progress toward a higher academic standard in future assessments.

Paper B Term Paper ~ Pass" For Learning Outcome 2, your work shows that you can recognise and assess ethical dimensions in different business scenarios, meeting 2.1. In the plan, you didn’t just list rules; you considered ethical issues such as cultural exploitation, misleading advertising, privacy, fair treatment of staff, and environmental responsibility. You then used ethical decision-making models (such as PLUS, IRAC, and Virtue Ethics) to structure how staff should think through dilemmas. Your written treatment of issues like truthful marketing, respectful engagement with communities, and how to respond to ethical breaches functions as a well-structured analysis of real-world ethical dilemmas in tourism, satisfying 2.2. In class activities and discussions, you have also been able to explain and defend your ethical positions and respond to alternative viewpoints, which aligns with the expectations for role-playing and debate in 2.3, even though that evidence sits more in your live participation than in the written plan.

Learning Outcome 3: Pass
Regarding Learning Outcome 3, your submission strongly demonstrates your ability to apply legal and ethical principles to realistic, complex situations in tourism, which meets 3.1. You consistently framed policies and procedures around practical risks IslandX might face—such as harm to the environment, breaches of guest data, or unfair labour practices—and showed how legal and ethical principles should guide responses. Deliverable #3 itself is a comprehensive compliance program for a hypothetical tourism business, IslandX, incorporating relevant Jamaican and international laws, ethical frameworks, training, monitoring, and review mechanisms, which fully satisfies 3.2. In addition, your work builds clearly on the collaborative IslandX project you developed with your classmates earlier in the course, showing that you can work as part of a group to address legal and ethical challenges and propose actionable solutions, which is what 3.3 is designed to assess.

Learning Outcome 4: Pass
You did not simply restate laws; you considered what could go wrong in practice, what the consequences would be, and what concrete actions IslandX should take to prevent or respond to those issues. This shows that you can move from theory to well-reasoned solutions. Your ability to explain and justify particular policy choices and ethical stances in your plan reflects the same skills you have shown in discussions where you engaged with conflicting legal and ethical perspectives, meeting 4.2. In your risk and compliance sections, you effectively created an ethical and legal risk assessment for IslandX, identifying potential pitfalls in areas such as marketing, data, labour, and sustainability, and recommending strategies for mitigation such as training, audits, clear procedures, and whistleblowing protections, which successfully meets 4.3. Overall, your work for this deliverable, together with your engagement across the unit, shows that you have achieved all the pass criteria for this module.
