Travel Project Congratulations! You have just won a vacation for 1-4 to the Middle East, Asia and Africa! You get to decide your travel route and destinations (any country within each region). Plan a daily itinerary (schedule) for 10 days of travel (including travel time if you leave on Saturday May 27, you must be back in Atlanta by Monday June 5th) through the Middle East, Asia and Africa 3 countries within those regions. You may book travel anytime between 5/27/2017 and 12/31/17. Remember to look at different flight options (for example, it may be cheaper to book one-way flights, but also look at round-trip flights with multi-stop options). DUE MONDAY 5/22/17 (be prepared to present when you get to class) BUDGET: 1 person: $4,500 2 people: $8,500 3 people: $12,000 4 people: $15,000 You must complete the planning sheets to show the cost of your flight, accommodations, food and total costs (and stay within budget) and your trip must include the following: Checklist: Did I select 3 different countries within EACH region we studied (the Middle East, Asia and Africa)? If you include two countries from the same region for example China and Thailand you will lose points. Flights - Did I include the cost of airfare (for EACH person traveling), flight number, departure and arrival time? Hotels did I include the NAME of the hotel, type of room (double, king etc.), the cost of the room PER NIGHT, the TOTAL cost for all nights stayed AND a picture of my hotel? (Consider hostels for a less expensive option) Attractions - Did I include 3 points of interest/attractions for EACH country (for a total of 9 points of interest). Points of interest can include: key physical features, historic sites, major attractions, cultural activities Did I include the cost of admission to various tourist destinations (museums, special attractions etc.) PER PERSON. Did I convert the currency if it was necessary? Did I include a picture for EACH point of interest? (9 total) Did I include a written description (4-5 sentences) each of point of interest (9 total) Did I include 3 restaurants (per country) for a total of 9 restaurants? There should be a variety of places for breakfast, lunch dinner. (Remember, you can only include ONE fast food restaurant per country; if breakfast is included at your hotel, you still have to show 3 restaurants, but one could be more of a snack (i.e. ice cream or a food truck at REAL places). Did I estimate the cost of food for each person travelling? ( currency) Did I include a picture of the restaurant or menu for EACH restaurant? Did I include a map of where each country is located in my presentation? (there should be a total of 3 maps) Did I complete the planning sheets to turn in? You DO NOT have to write a complete paragraph on your planning sheet for each point of interest or restaurant, but I do want to see the names of places and a VERY brief description. For example: Pyramids Visited Egyptian pyramids in Cairo FREE (or $20 per person) $40 total Mediterranean Palace Casual dining, Mediterranean fare (lunch) Approximately $10 per person $20 total
You will turn in your planning sheets. These will serve as your budget form. However, all other information included on your planning sheet must be incorporated into your presentation. Presentation can be in the following formats: Travel Guide/Brochure Presentation (Prezi, Powerpoint) Promotional Commercial must be approved by me! If you have another idea, please see me for approval RUBRIC: Budget: Did you stay within budget? Did your budget include: cost of airfare, hotels, food and attractions? (50 points) Did you include a map (or picture of the country) for each destination? (30 points) Did you include 3 points of interest (with pictures) and at least a one paragraph description of each place? (45 points) Did you include names and descriptions of local restaurants? Did you include a minimum of three restaurants per country and a picture or menu? (45 points) Presentation Did you speak clearly? Did your presentation include all the required elements? Were you prepared? Did you take it seriously? (No side conversations/giggling). Presenters should be able to speak about each point of interest/hotel/restaurant WITHOUT reading from their presentation. If you conducted thorough research, you should be well-versed in the content and should be able to provide a clear summary of it on your own. Presentations should not last more than 4 minutes (this can be done, by again, providing a brief overview of each country/attraction/restaurant without reading from the presentation; think of it as sharing highlights). If you read directly from your presentation, you will lose points. (30 points) TOTAL POINTS: 200 AIRFARE TOTAL COST HOTEL - TOTAL COST FOOD - TOTAL COST ATTRACTIONS TOTAL COST TOTAL COST OF TRIP
