Your job has two parts.  Follow the chart below to discover how to sell your country as the best place to vacation!!

3.  Now that you have your information from your country of origin, you are going to use it to create a travel brochure for the country.  Be sure to include all of the information you gathered, because people traveling to the country will need to know it!
