Planning a trip

Your challenge is to plan the best trip for €1000. Include only true information - do not make things up!

Task 1: If you can, use Google Docs (find  Templates Brochure => Go-Go Travel) or a Word Document

Task 2: Find one destination in Europe you would like to visit. Please include a good photo. 

Task 3: Go to skyscanner.net website and search for flights. Try different options to find the best, but also reasonably cheap tickets (flying from Tallinn, Riga, Helsinki, Stockholm etc). You have to find a return ticket. Try different dates (find an option to search the whole month). If you chose not to fly from Tallinn, how will you get to the airport from your home? Add flight information (dates, departure and arrival times, flight nr and cost)  into your project.

Task 4: Find accommodation for your travel dates. Try airbnb or Booking.com. Add accommodation information into your project (a short description, address, cost for the whole stay, is breakfast included etc?) You can add photos to make your project more attractive!

Task 5: What transport will you use at your destination? Find information and cost.

Task 6: Find one sight you would like to visit. Add information (what can you do there, what is it, where, entrance and ticket information)

Task 7: Find a place for dinner. Study its menu and choose something for your dinner. Write into your project what will you order and what  is the price.

Task 8: How much is the total cost of your return ticket, accommodation, sight, local transport and one dinner?

Task 9: Now add general information about your destination (weather, currency, population etc) . You can add photos and a map too.

At the end of your lesson, share your document with your teacher or send it. Her e-mail address is on the blackboard.
