Students were paired up to create a travel brochure (see explanation attached) to a tourist destination in the Spanish-speaking world. Students were given time together and had access to a computer to plan and start working on their brochure. The brochure should promote and describe the tourist destination, put together a 5-7 day trip that they are promoting as a package, and explain how to get to the destination.
