Choosing destinations. You have been given two locations that you must include in your trip. What other cities or towns would you like to visit? Why? What activities would you like to undertake at each location? Create a mind map using wordle, or bubbl.us which answers the questions above. (If you don't want to use one of these applications you can try to create it in Word or another program you are familiar with.) You must include 15 activities across the 5 locations.
Task: Create a travel brochure for one European location that you would like to visit. In doing so, use Abobe Fireworks or Photoshop to edit images. You may choose to use Publisher, Word or PowerPoint to create your brochure. Make sure that you save your brochure as you will need to use the file in a later task. Ensure that you only use images which are copyright free. Keep a seperate file showing where you got each image from. Organising travel Create your travel itinerary Now it is time to make the decisions about exactly where you want to go and how long you will spend at each location. Your itinerary will need to include:
Include at least one ecotourism activity or eco-accommodation. Keep in mind your budget and time constraints: $15,000 each and 6 weeks. Present your itinerary as a detailed table (include the dot point above). Create a separate table which outlines how you will allocate your budget. Create a map using Google Maps or Google Earth which shows the journey you will take. Exclude your flight to and from Sydney on your map so that you can show a high level of detail. Planning a trip

Medical requirements Read about travel insurance here: http://www.smartraveller.gov.au/tips/insurance.html What health issues do people generally face when they are travelling? What risks do you face travelling in the countries that you have chosen? Will any of the activities that you undertake put you at risk of harm? Language issues When you travel to a non-English speaking country you will need to learn how to get around and how to ask for help.
