Step 1: Pick a Country
Choose a country you'd love to visit or one you've already been to.
Maybe your dream destination is Japan 🍣, Canada 🍁, Brazil ⚽ or Australia 🦘. The world is your oyster!
Step 2. Design Your Brochure
There are lots of different ways you can make your travel brochure! You could do a giant one on a large piece of paper or maybe a small leaflet that your friends can take away with them?
Alternatively, you could design one on the computer.(Ask first)
Step 3: What Should You Include?
It’s hard to sum up a whole country in just one brochure so the aim of your travel brochure is to share the most important information and some of the best bits about that place!
- Name of the country (location, map, language, money, weather,...)
- Places to visit (Famous landmarks and a brief description)
- Things to do.
- Food: For lots of people, the best bit of visiting somewhere new is trying out lots of tasty, new food! Is there a particular dish that your place is famous for?
Other things to include
- Fun and weird facts
- History
- Famous people
Step 4: Bring It to Life!
Now you’ve got all the information you need, the next step is to bring your travel brochure to life!
Remember:
You're not just making a brochure… you're convincing people to pack their bags! 🧳😎
