5AT - Tourism and Sustainable Development

  • Hi there,

    do you feel like keeping up with the good work?

    We can start this "journey" by focusing on sustainable transport.

    We always pay attention to how sustainable our tourist packages are, and now, more than ever, we want to make them even greener by choosing to travel by train.

    First of all, let's do some research on some of the most popular panoramic train journeys in the world. Choose a country and look for the most iconin train journey in that country. Then, post a pin on the map below.

     

    After that, do some more research and create a brochure to advertise your train journey. Make sure you include all the relevant information for a potential customer to buy your package.

    Don't forget to include:

    - an attractive title (the name of the train is not enough!)

    - a short introduction summarizing the highlights of the journey

    - a map where the different stops are shown

    - some attractive photos

    - a day by day program

    - information about accommodation and meals; accommodation can be aboard the train or in hotels along the way. Meals can be served on board or can be organized as you wish.

    - information about the period when the package is available (does it run all year round?)

    - information about prices, reductions, supplements

    - information about any early booking offer

    You can use a tool of your choice (Google Slides, Canva, etc.) but make sure the images are not protected by copyright by using the Google advanced search option.

    Remeber to use imperatives and adjectives to make you language appealing and more involving.

     

    I'm pasting here the evaluation rubric we're going to use.
