Study the World Time Zone map and the information below and answer the questions that follow - NSC Tourism - Question 2 - 2023

The departure time from London was 19:00 on 8 March 2023. With a flying time of 11 hours, the arrival time in Cape Town is calculated as follows:

• Departure time: 19:00 (GMT)
• Adding the flying time: 19:00 + 11 hours = 06:00 (next day, Cape Town time)
• Adjusting for the time difference: 06:00 + 2 hours = 08:00 (Cape Town time)

Therefore, the Willis family arrived in Cape Town at 08:00 on 9 March 2023.

1. To acclimatise to the weather and altitude in Cape Town, which is essential for optimal performance in the race.
2. To allow Gordon sufficient rest and to prepare for the race by collecting his registration and getting familiar with the route.

The Willis family should proceed to the green channel at Cape Town International Airport, as they are carrying items that do not need to be declared.

1. The green channel is designated for passengers who have nothing to declare, allowing for a quicker passage through customs.
2. They were traveling with items permissible under customs regulations, ensuring compliance with the laws governing imports.

The government body that employs the men is the South African Revenue Service (SARS).

1. They must control that visitors do not carry illegal and/or prohibited goods into the country, ensuring that all items brought into South Africa comply with regulations.
2. They need to ensure that restricted goods are within the permissible limits, thereby protecting local customs and taxation laws.

Gordon sent the message at 14:00 Cape Town time. Considering that New York is 7 hours behind Cape Town (in DST), the time in New York when John received the message is:

14:00 - 7 hours = 07:00. Therefore, John received the message at 07:00 in New York.
