Travel Trade Show

The students had to organise a trade show showcasing an international destination of their choice for the unit 'International,Destinations'. They worked in pairs and some on their own, decorated and set up their tables with brochures, flyers, business cards, ipads with power point presentations, food and some even dressed up. All the other students from other faculties were invited to visit; they asked questions, tasted food, took part in games. The staff also came and it was appreciated by all. The students  put in a lot of effort into it and were so motivated  but exhausted by the end of the day!  This was their assessment. An assessment which they all enjoyed!
