TRAVEL BROCHURE
They’re very colourful – lots of pictures and stuffed full of information to make people want to go there – things like maps, facts, travel ideas, what the foods like and also where to stay. Things which can help someone who’s never visited a place before understand more about it!
You are going to make your own travel brochure!!
Pick a country!
There are hundreds of countries in the world to choose from! Maybe you’ve been on holiday somewhere recently and know loads about that country now to share with everyone else?
Or perhaps there’s somewhere in the world you’ve always wanted to go to and so you’d like to find out a bit more about the place before you travel?
Your History teacher will guide you in that matter, what about a colonial country????
CONTENT
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!
A good place to start is thinking about what that country is famous for (as they usually are the best bits too!)
For example, if you were making a travel brochure for the UK you might mention Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, tea and the countryside!
Other things to include in your travel brochure…
- Fun and weird facts
- History
- Famous people
STRUCTURE
There are lots of different ways you can make your travel brochure!
The best program to use is Microsoft Publisher, as they have lots of ready-made templates to make your job easier. But if you don’t have Microsoft Publisher, you can use Microsoft Word instead!
Alternatively, you could design one on paper (Maps, photographs, clippings from magazines etc.)
EXAMPLES:
Check out some travel brochures for inspiration!
RUBRIC
And there you go! That’s how to make a travel brochure! Maybe it will persuade people to go and visit that place
