NA and ME Travel Brochure and Itinerary
The region of North Africa and the Middle East often gets a "bad rap" (unfair assessment) compared to other parts of the world – one big giant desert, political and religious conflict, oil wells everywhere. There is much more to this region than meets the eye of the uninitiated observer and it is your job to find out all the amazing things NA and ME has to offer.
Create a travel brochure and itinerary offering a package tour of 12 days in four different countries (any 3 AND one oil rich country from the Arabian Peninsula which is diversifying its economy).
Your brochure and itinerary must include 4 different tourist activities; one will relate to cultural geography, one to urban geography, one to physical geography and one must involve the tourist offerings in the oil rich country.
Here are the specific requirements for your travel brochure and itinerary.
Travel Brochure: this can be done in print or electronic (video, blog, etc) format. The purpose of the brochure is to “SELL” Your tour – make it sound fabulous, interesting, exciting, lovely, dramatic, exotic, adventurous, etc
