My World Wide Tour of Countries
Description: Students will organize a two week tour of countries on different continents (nothing in US or Canada) throughout the world that will include detailed travel plans. Students must decide which countries they are to visit with a minimum of three, book their own flight schedules, hotel accommodations, cultural activities such as museums, operas, plays and exhibits. A minimum of three cultural activities must be attended within each country. Each student will have a budget of $5,000.

Students must provide names from hotels where they stayed and the cultural activities they attended. They must also explain why they would recommend this tour to anyone else. Students will keep a list of websites that they use for each step of this project. Students will create a commercial or brochure to convince others why they should take their tour.

After explaining the assignment and what is expected, this project is completely student based.
