TRAVEL AGENT:
Congratulations! You have been chosen as the travel agent for your trip. As the travel agent, you decide how to get to your cities and where to stay. You must organize and plan well!
Your Responsibilities:
Your job is to organize and plan the trip for your group.
You will be responsible for arranging airfare, hotels, and local transportation for your group members. This information will be recorded in a daily journal in Spanish. *IN DETAIL*
Process:
You and your group will select which city you will begin your travels.
With your group, choose the main cities that you will visit during your stay.
Book round-trip airline tickets for your group. You will be leaving from Chicago and arriving in your first city.
Investigate hotel rates for your first city. Keep in mind the day of the week and the date that you will be traveling. These facts will affect your rates. Make this real life. How many rooms are you going to get?
Begin planning your first day. Check in with the activity coordinator, trip manager, and culinary expert to find out the places that you are going. Coordinate local transportation for those places.
Start your travel journal after your first day has been planned. As the travel agent, you need to include: how you got to the city, where you stayed, how you got back and forth to the activities, and the costs involved.
As a group, prepare your presentation (en español ) to the class.
How you got to your first city, including the cost of the round trip?
Some of the hotels that you stayed at. Describe one or two and include prices.
Transportation that you used. Did you use the Metro? Taxis? City buses?
On the final day of your travel journal, reflect on what you would have kept the same, what you would have changed, and any other information that stood out.
Tips:
As the travel agent in your group, you should consider:
Frequently checking plans with other members of your group to arrange transportation.
Keeping within your budget!
Consistently looking at the currency exchange rate. Recording the changes in your travel journal.
Looking at all aspects of transportation: taxis, bus, metro, and railroad when planning your activities. Working with the activity coordinator to plan activities close together to save money.
