Biome Travel Guide

The United Nations has contracted hundreds of travel agencies to create travel packages to different biomes around the world. The purpose of this project is to increase awareness of not only the beauty of the earth but also the plight of the biomes and the species that are threatened or endangered. It is your job, as owner of a travel agency, to create and produce a colorful and informative PowerPoint presentation that will serve this purpose.

You may use any website for your information and images. Images inserted must have text on the slide.

An effective travel guide tells visitors what to expect when visiting a location, so you must include the following information in your PowerPoint:

• Name & information (where tours are available) about your “travel company”

• Where is your biome located (include a map)?

• Where specifically are you taking tourists? Hotel? Tour packages…

• What type of food should the tourists expect to be eating? Local cuisine?

• How will tourists get there? Plane, bus, train

• List factual information about the biome that a tourist would want to know.

• What is the climate like in your biome?

• What will tourists do while in your biome?

• What should tourists pack that would be appropriate for weather & activities?

• What will tourists see while on vacation in your biome?

• Information & pictures of at least 3 animals found in your biome

• Information & pictures of at least 2 plants found in your biome

• Info/picture on at least one endangered animal found in your biome

• For more info on our vacation packages please check our “website” at ??? and more biome information on your works cited page
