African Country Tourism Brochure

You will be creating a three panel tourism brochure on an African Country. The brochure will be done on Microsoft Publisher and will include information on four of the following plus a map:

• Geography Culture
• Landmarks
• Attractions
• Food
• History
• Monuments
• Animals/wildlife
• Tourist sites
• Recreational travel experiences

The purpose of this brochure is to highlight one African country and make other people want to go and visit it.

You will be given class time to work on this brochure but you need to use this time wisely.

The first step to this project is deciding the four main topics that you are going to research.
Remember to take the information you have learned and put in into your own words. (If you don’t it is called plagiarizing)

When inserting your information into brochure you will want to make it eye catching and appealing to the audience.

When making your brochure ensure that there are no spelling or grammar mistakes, make sure the information is appropriate and accurate (this means you have actually researched it) and make it attractive.

As well include visual images of what you are discussing in your brochure. (This is a good selling tool)

The purpose of this brochure is to highlight one African country and make other people want to go and visit it.
