Your group is going into business-providing vacation tours to the planet you discovered! To bring in customers, you will need to prepare a travel brochure to generate interest.
Here are some guidelines for developing your brochure.
· Why would anyone want to visit your planet? Obtain complete and up-to-date information about the statistics (size, distance, etc.), features (craters, mountains, water, etc.), conditions (temperature, atmosphere, gravity, etc.), and points of interest on your planet.
· What activities will you be able to provide for your clients? Horseback riding, golf, and hot-air balloon rides are probably out…or are they? Put together a selection of activities.
· What should the people on your tour bring with them? Swimming suits? Skis? A good book to read? Consider technical details such as transportation, life support, food, water, exposure to radiation, atmospheric conditions, gravity, temperature, travel time, and so on. Plan what you will tell your clients that will make them feel assured that they will be safe and comfortable on the tour.
· What should a tourist pay for such an outrageous vacation, and why? Figure out how much it will cost to sign on for the adventure, and be prepared to explain the cost to your clients so they will understand what they are paying for.
· Design a travel brochure. Make a poster-size version of the brochure to present to the class. You will have only about 5 minutes for your presentation. Make sure everyone in your group has a role to play in the presentation.
