Dear Students:
You have been assigned a task. Your task is to design a trip for 1 person to Orlando, FL.
Your group will consist of 3 people (a Transportation Specialist, a Concierge, and a Tour Guide).
The Transportation Specialist will be responsible for selecting the form of transportation.
The Concierge will be responsible for selecting the hotel and restaurants you will be using.
The Tour Guide will be responsible for selecting what attractions you will be going to.
You will use this packet to record your brainstorming ideas, make your calculations and complete the filled-out worksheets
which will be handed out to the class during your presentation. Books will be provided and the websites you may use will be
on my website (www.mrfabian.com). If there are other websites you think are helpful ensure they are credible sites to be
used before you use them. You will need to cite your sources for all information used in the project/presentation.
Presentation?
Yes, after you have gathered all your information from each person in your group, you will all become Travel Agents.
Your new role will be to develop a presentation to show the class what you have worked so hard on.
You will create a multimedia presentation which can include a PowerPoint, poster boards, video clips, or any other vis-
ual aids which add to your presentation.
You will be graded based on the rubrics provided at the end of this packet.
The Catch: You will only be given $3,000
$400 For Transportation / $1,500 For Hotel / $500 For Food / $600 For Attractions
Anything else you feel you want in your trip needs to be paid out of your full amount of money given ($3,000); so you
will need to make some sacrifices (i.e. you may have to get a cheaper hotel if you want a rental car or if you want to
go to more places). Those sacrifices need to be agreed on by the whole group since money will come out of someone in
your groups budget.
A special prize will be given for the group that creates the best trip (Will be voted on by the class!)

Good Luck and I Look Forward To Seeing You Soon,
Mr. Walter Elias Disney
