Procedure

You will be designing travel brochures to be presented to me via internet.
Include in your talk: How do you plan one? What do you need to know before you go?  Talk about a holiday you were on and what went into planning it. Did you have any problems because of bad planning, misinformation or lack of information?

From this list, decide what makes a travel brochure attractive, interesting, informative, etc. This will serve as criteria for assessment of the brochures.

You may use Travel Brochure Guide to help you

Each brochure should include a brief description of the city/tourist attraction, geographical location, tourist sights available (including brief descriptions) and local seasonal weather.

The brochure should also include examples of:
  • hotels/accommodations available
  • food and dining
  • transportation (optional: flights/trains/boats schedule and cost)
  • prices
  • optional: suggested tours
"Amazing things wich cannot be missed"

Presentation (you need to talk but you can use images  on power points or any other media you may know!
Good luck!
