Students will learn what a travel agent is and what they do, then find a client of their own and plan a vacation for them.  Students will prepare all of their own questions and paper work.

Students will create a brochure for a specific travel destination in California and present it to the class. This lesson is designed to be introduced and started upon in a single class period and then works to provide students another couple of class periods to work on their research and brochures, then present during the final class. It can take up to a week or more to fully complete and has many of the related websites listed to help out students with their research, and the materials I use and the opening video embedded. Best of luck!
