Introduction
Welcome!
You are desesperately looking for a job, there are a lot of things to pay! You have read a job offer from a travel agency.You love travelling, so it is the job of your dreams!
But, in order to work for this travel agengy, you must first do different things and do them successfully!
Task
The travell agency wants to see how you work. To do so, it wants you to organize a trip. You will have to look for all the aspects related to a trip: look for the flights, search a nice and well located hotel, look for activities to do in the city, places to eat... everything!
There are two main conditions: first, it has to be a city where English is spoken. Second, the trip has to be as cheap as possible.
You will have to prepare a presentation of the trip you organize and present it in front of the class. The one who looks for the most attractive trip will win the job place!
Process
There are several things to do when organizing a trip.
1. Choose the city you want to go to.
2. Look for the ticket planes and the hotel. Remember it is a trip for TWO adults and you must spend THREE complete days in the city. (In the section credits you will find some links that will help you). When organizing the presentation, add pictures of the flight you found and of the hotel!
3. Look for the activities that you can do in the city. Two members of the team can do this part: one can look for the cultural activities and the other can look for activites that are just for fun. Also, create a map of the city with the places that you will visit in this trip.
4. Calculate the cost of the trip per person.
5. Create a list of the things that a traveller needs to bring.
6. Evaluate your experience creating a trip.
OPTIONAL: You may write a list of the things that you need to bring! (for example: winter clothes...)
