Create an all-new one of a kind fictitious vacation destination that fits into one of the four vacation categories we have discussed in this class [ First Vacations, Road Trip Vacations, Destination Vacations, Exotic Vacations]. By fit, I mean your made-up vacation local should adhere to the prescribed parameters outlined for your selected vacation category such as (but not limited to) who is traveling, how your tourists are traveling, why your tourist are going on vacation, and forms of entertainment.
IMPORTANT: Your destination cannot currently exist (i.e. Disney World, New York City, or the Grand Canyon), be included in a work of fiction including locations depicted in movies or tv shows, or described in works of written fiction (i.e. Waterworld, Hogwarts, Narnia, etc.) I encourage you to be creative.
Now in a two-page paper describe in great detail your made-up vacation local. This can include types of lodging, entertainment, how your visitors will get to your vacation location, etc. As you do so make sure that your vacation fits into one of the four categories we have discussed in this class.
All papers are to be typed, double spaced, in 12-point type with one-inch margins on all sides. I expect lucid prose, correct punctuation, grammar, spelling, and organization. Please for your own peace of mind keep a backup copy of your paper saved on a computer, memory stick or in the Cloud, just in case.Your submission must focus on a fictitious destination. If your paper focuses on a real destination you will receive a zero for this assignment.
For Part II you will create an actual Travel Guide Advertisement.
Using your new destination now its time to get even more creative. Because you know your destination best, I leave the design and content of your advertisement up to you. In other words, your ad should accurately reflect the timeframe for your vacation as well as your destination. Your Ad should be enticing and creative and fully reflect your chosen destination and time period. After reading your ad I should be able to clearly discern your designated time period. Your ad should include more than simple text and should have visual aids such as pictures, word art, drawings, or maps. Again we encourage you to be creative.
