I'm pretty much predicted all the questions to be what they were.

World Cities

• Did this question for two seperate assessments this year
• High presences of TNCs
• Large stock exchanges
• Advanced telecommunications and transport
• Universities and museums
• Used London, New York and Tokyo
• Very similar to2008 Independent - Analyse the role of world cities as centres of economic and cultural authority

Management and Protection

• Least to write about in my opinion
• Talked about management in general
• In focus - utility, heritage and intrinsic values
• Used case studies of GBR and Fraser Island
• Similar to HSC 2003 - Justify the importance of ecosystem management and protection.

Future Directions

• People on the MEESTA Lecture Day will know that Grant Kleinmann predicted this question as well
• Tourism
• Talked about economic, technological and 'other'
• Economic - GFC, GFC and more GFC
• Technological - A380, Internet etc
• Other - the four A's - accessibility, affordability, accommodation and attraction
• Very similar to Specimen HSC Paper - Analyse the factors that may influence the future directions of one economic activity in a
  global context.
