CHECK OUT: PRESENTING A GROUP TRIP PROGRAMME

Orientation

You are working at a large hotel, and you are receiving a group of travellers. They have just arrived and will be staying for 5 nights. You have to inform them about the full itinerary of their trip.

Preparation

Your group of travellers might be a specific target audience. Your teacher will give you the necessary information that you should take into account when preparing the itinerary. This also includes the location.

1 Write down the information you get from your teacher.

2 Research information about your location and set up a 5-day program. Start with the official tourism organisation for the country of your destination and, if it exists, the destination itself. Use English language websites only and list the most relevant sources.

Action

3 Make an information leaflet or brochure about the activities for your group of tourists. Include the schedule, meeting times, regulations, (emergency) contacts, transport, accommodation, activities, suggestions for spending free time, fixed and / or optional meals, included and additional costs.

4 Give an informational presentation on the itinerary. The presentation should be no longer than 10 minutes. Make sure you can answer questions and deal with complaints.
