Directions (1-9): Read the following passage and 
answer the given questions. 
The travel and tourism industry has traditionally been a 
significant contributor to the global economy. Prior to the 
COVID-19 pandemic, it accounted for nearly 10.4% of the 
world’s GDP and supported millions of jobs across sectors 
such as airlines, hotels, transport, and tourism agencies. 
Continuous growth in both domestic and international 
travel ensured sustained profits for many companies. 
This momentum was abruptly halted with the outbreak of 
COVID-19 in early 2020. As lockdowns, border closures, and 
travel bans were enforced worldwide, the industry suffered 
severe losses. Global passenger traffic declined by over 60% 
that year. The financial impact was especially harsh on small 
and medium-sized operators, many of whom had never 
faced such disruption in the last two decades. 
A compelling example is SunWings Travels, a regional bus 
service provider. Before the pandemic, the company was 
struggling with poor occupancy — only 62 passengers per 
week on average. Operations ceased entirely during the 
lockdown, pushing the business toward potential 
shutdown. 
However, SunWings made a bold decision to revamp its 
model. The management handled the crisis with 
commendable poise, focusing on long-term viability rather 
than short-term losses. They invested in contactless 
ticketing, improved air filtration systems, and implemented 
strict hygiene protocols. The company also trained staff and 
collaborated with certified lodging partners to ensure 
safety. 
These efforts aligned with the growing demand for safe and 
reliable road travel. As air travel remained limited, 
__________________ regional transport options. By the end of 
2022, SunWings had more than doubled its weekly 
passengers and saw a 35% increase in revenue compared to 
its pre-COVID figures. Encouraged by this turnaround, the 
company further increased investment in fleet expansion 
and digital infrastructure. 
The post-COVID travel business reflects a shift in priorities: 
safety, flexibility, and digitisation now dominate consumer 
preferences. Companies that responded with innovation 
and resilience, like SunWings Travels, have not only 
recovered but expanded. The pandemic served as a test of 
adaptability, and those who navigated it with strategic 
foresight are now leading the road to recovery.

Directions (1-9): Read the following passage and 
answer the given questions. 
The travel and tourism industry has traditionally been a 
significant contributor to the global economy. Prior to the 
COVID-19 pandemic, it accounted for nearly 10.4% of the 
world’s GDP and supported millions of jobs across sectors 
such as airlines, hotels, transport, and tourism agencies. 
Continuous growth in both domestic and international 
travel ensured sustained profits for many companies. 
This momentum was abruptly halted with the outbreak of 
COVID-19 in early 2020. As lockdowns, border closures, and 
travel bans were enforced worldwide, the industry suffered 
severe losses. Global passenger traffic declined by over 60% 
that year. The financial impact was especially harsh on small 
and medium-sized operators, many of whom had never 
faced such disruption in the last two decades. 
A compelling example is SunWings Travels, a regional bus 
service provider. Before the pandemic, the company was 
struggling with poor occupancy — only 62 passengers per 
week on average. Operations ceased entirely during the 
lockdown, pushing the business toward potential 
shutdown. 
However, SunWings made a bold decision to revamp its 
model. The management handled the crisis with 
commendable poise, focusing on long-term viability rather 
than short-term losses. They invested in contactless 
ticketing, improved air filtration systems, and implemented 
strict hygiene protocols. The company also trained staff and 
collaborated with certified lodging partners to ensure 
safety. 
These efforts aligned with the growing demand for safe and 
reliable road travel. As air travel remained limited, 
__________________ regional transport options. By the end of 
2022, SunWings had more than doubled its weekly 
passengers and saw a 35% increase in revenue compared to 
its pre-COVID figures. Encouraged by this turnaround, the 
company further increased investment in fleet expansion 
and digital infrastructure. 
The post-COVID travel business reflects a shift in priorities: 
safety, flexibility, and digitisation now dominate consumer 
preferences. Companies that responded with innovation 
and resilience, like SunWings Travels, have not only 
recovered but expanded. The pandemic served as a test of 
adaptability, and those who navigated it with strategic 
foresight are now leading the road to recovery.
