Purpose: This assignment is intended to demonstrate how relatively simple, inexpensive, and interesting world travel actually can be.

Requirements:

• A 1000–1500 word report (roughly three to five pages, but can be more) or other substantial project, e.g. PowerPoint presentation.
• Reference List, including books, interviews, Internet websites, etc.
• Any supporting materials, such as travel brochures, photos, maps, etc.

Content: Each report should minimally include the following:

• Orientation: Geography, climate, population, etc.
• Brief History: Politics, economy, religion, etc.
• Cultural Customs: Language, greetings, dress, taboos, etc.
• Travel: Transportation cost and means, time of travel, lodging, visas, currency, exchange rate, immunizations, etc.
• Activities: Sights to see, festivals/holidays, etc.
• Music Activities: Include some music genres and events likely to be seen.
• Total Cost: Provide a breakdown list of costs for a week stay in the country. Feel free to stay longer, if you like. Be reasonable in your pricing. I doubt you’ll win the lottery before you go.
• Recommended Resources: Books, recordings, addresses to contact, etc.
• Creativity: These points are based on your creativity and writing style. Some students have written from the perspective of a travel agent booking a tour, a tour guide native to the country visited, or even a backpacker on an adventure. If you make it fun to read, it will be fun to write.

Comment:

This project is designed to be FUN as well as educational. The focus is on the TRAVEL, not the history, etc., so don’t overdo the opening sections. The idea is to stimulate you to pursue international travel as part of your life experience. You will gain a better appreciation of not only other people and their culture, but the culture you live in as well. Be CREATIVE as well as informative. Please
