Please submit this assignment on (or before) the nominated due date so as to avoid possible penalties. All assignments must use Harvard AGPS Referencing.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When preparing the tourism assignments, students must consult and cite (at a minimum) at least seven (7) relevant books, book chapters, or journal articles. These books and journal articles can be sourced online. Remember to look at the ANU e-Press and the Directory of Open Access Journals (see the resources) when researching your assignment. You can also use government reports and websites or similar materials. Students wishing to score higher marks for \u2018Depth of research\u2019 should aim to use more than 7 sources.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Tip:<\/b> Please refer to rubric for details on how this assignment will be assessed before starting your work.<br \/>\nThis assignment allows you to build on your investigation of tourism completed in the <a href=\"\/rrap104\/learning-pathways\/tourism\/e-learning-activity-tourism-throughout-the-asia-pacific-region\" title=\"AST1000\/Tourism\/e-Learning activity - Tourism throughout the Asia-Pacific region\">first RRAP104 e-learning activity<\/a>. It requires you to write a tourism brochure (1500 words) on a country\/island\/city of your choice from the Asia-Pacific region.\n<\/p>\n<p>Your tourism brochure will be assessed on both the accuracy and relevance of the information included (you will need to research your information carefully), and the originality in how you present your tourism information. Your target audience for this assignment is potential tourists to the area. Therefore, you should write the brochure with this target audience in mind. You can incorporate images and activities relevant to your location; advice to tourists on weather, society, culture and religion (for example); and any other information you think is relevant to a tourism brochure.\n<\/p>\n<p>One important thing your brochure however, is that it must be based on fact. While you can make up activities for instance, they must be relevant to the location. Also, the information about your location must be accurate. You cannot make up stories about the history, politics, economics and society of your location. This must all be well-researched and factual. Your tourism brochure must primarily be factual, based on research of your location.\n<\/p>\n<p>At the end of your brochure you will need to include a List of References that demonstrates the sources you consulted to prepare your assignment. Please note that you will still need to use academic referencing conventions throughout your brochure \u2013 meaning you will need to cite where your information is from.\n<\/p>\n<p>When writing your tourism brochure you may want to consider all or some of the following points;\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> You can select a specific type of tourism relevant to your location. For example, eco-tourism, cultural tourism, religious tourism or general tourism. This will determine the types of sites and activities contained in your brochure. You can make up your own activities but they must be relevant to the type of tourism you selected and they must be location specific.\n<\/li>\n<li> The information contained in your brochure should be clearly laid out. You may want to use Headings and Sub-headings, as well as some bullet pointed information, to clearly distinguish different elements \/ sections in your brochure.\n<\/li>\n<li> You should also use accurate and relevant examples of tourist activities and destinations in your brochure. These examples should have clear links to the content contained in the brochure.\n<\/li>\n<li> You should aim to demonstrate creativity in how you set out your brochure, how you structure its content and how you incorporate images into it. It would be a good idea to look at a couple of brochures from online travel agencies for ideas when you start planning your brochure.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- \nNewPP limit report\nCPU time usage: 0.009 seconds\nReal time usage: 0.010 seconds\nPreprocessor visited node count: 1\/1000000\nPreprocessor generated node count: 4\/1000000\nPost\u2010expand include size: 0\/2097152 bytes\nTemplate argument size: 0\/2097152 bytes\nHighest expansion depth: 1\/40\nExpensive parser function count: 0\/100\n--><\/p>\n<p><!-- Saved in parser cache with key wikiedu-mw_:pcache:idhash:175893-0!*!0!*!*!*!* and timestamp 20160720051433 and revision id 1005649\n -->\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"visualClear\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n<ul class=\"pager\">\n<li class=\"previous\">\n            <a href=\"\/rrap104\/learning-pathways\/regional-futures\/summary\">\u2190 Previous<\/a>\n          <\/li>\n<li class=\"next\">\n            <a href=\"\/rrap104\/assessment\/marking-rubric\">Next \u2192<\/a>\n          <\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<br \/>\n<\/footer>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Word length: 1500 words Marks: 100 Submission: Attach your submission to an email with subject line RRAP104 Assessment Submission and addressed to marcus.harmes@usq.edu.au Tourism assignment This assignment is linked to the FIRST RRAP104 e-learning activity.
