Titus Grey Visit

Titus Grey from Eco Tourism visited us yesterday (tuesday 29th april).We had to freeze frame on what jobs we were doing like: looking at complaints, being on the phone talking to costumers, etc.
Then we had to think of questions to ask him such as: do you think we are profesinal enough? or do you get the right impresion on travel world?
Also we had to look at the success criteria, and we all picked one thing that we could be responsable for.

He told us about Safaris and how they atract tourists. He gave us a booklet about animals and plants that we had to fill in, a bit like a test.

Are Mantle So Far

Our travel companey (travel the world) have started a power point on volcanos such as Stromboli, mount Edtna and white island. We used skills such as research skills and relevant information. We found out information on the volcanos like the base to the rim or base to base. We found that volcanos arn't just sluge and lava but they allso spurt beutiful fountin like shapes. Volcanos have a beutiful lanscape from a far away distence.

We are now using and getting to know our roles in the company so we are working better together as a company. Today there is going to be a un-named visitor coming into our company whom we do not know. We are learning all sorts of new skills like being able to talk about a subject and selling a holiday with lots of persuasive language. The presentation of how we present the holiday to our costomers and how we deal with the matters at hand.


By Annabelle

In our mantle we are a travel agency together we sort out holiday's for other people. Everyone has a role and we all work as a team, for the last couple of days we have been designing holiday brochures for our favorite holiday destinations. Some include country's like: America,Australia and Spain followed by many more. Everybody has jobs which include: manager, holiday manager, finacial officer and travel advisor. We have done a number of mantle's and so far everyone thinks this one is best.

Today we have been continuing with our brochures for hotels, we are hoping it will bring more business. We have also created posters for hotels and beaches and have made application forms for booking flights. Today our company have been busy sorting out guests problems and helping them get the dream holiday they want.
Annabel and Sarah

So far in our travel agencey we have been writing brochures about hotels. We have also been drawing posters of where we would like to go around the world, we have had loads of phone calls for people to go on holiday so people want nice whether but not over 25 degrees - they 're crazy and some people want it to not cost too much we will keep you posted till next time.

In Travel World today, we looked through different brochures to find good describing words which would give us and idea for when we wrote for our own brochure. we all wrote a paragraph about one hotel in our brochures to persuade people to go there themselves. All of them where pretty persuasive! we all worked hard, and it was very fun!! The Brochures really helped us start our paragraphs off!!!!
