Let’s become the tourist guides in our cities

Activity 4. Design a brochure with which you convince the tourists to visit your city. Include key
information about emblematic and historical places, lifestyles, cultural settings, food,
weather, traditions, and lodging. Add percentages of visits to some of the places
mentioned or plans.
This is just a place of the city to be included. Not the only one.
Example:
Monserrate Hill: visited by 60 % of tourists – wonderful view – varied meals – aerial
tramway, funicular, climbing. (get an extra 20% off on further visits)

Find here some useful examples to design your brochure:
