Sightseeing
and Adventuring Worksheet |
1. This is one of the most
important parts of your clients’ trip, and possibly the most memorable. Your job is to select amusements for your
clients as they move along their cross country route. In order to save money and time, do not
select any stops that are too far out of the way.
- The farthest you
can go away from your original route is .08% of the trip’s total
distance. Find how many miles this
is equivalent to.
- Using Google
Earth’s tourist features, find 10-15 stops that would be
interesting. List them in the
table below. For those sites that
charge admission, require special equipment rentals, or other various
charges include this data as well.

2. Find the total cost of
the various experiences.
3. What percent of your
clients’ total budget will all of these stops make up?
4. Your clients express to
you that they don’t want to pay for any particular stop if it is more than 2%
of their total budget. What is the most
money they could spend for any one place?
5. One possible stop your
clients might like to go to is
6.
- From your table,
categorize the sightseeing/amusement stops your clients will make. Break down your large list into 3-4
broader categories.
- Calculate the
total prices for each of these categories.
- Determine what
percent each category represents of the total amusement/sightseeing cost.
- Are there one or
two categories that outweigh the other ones by very much? If so, how would you explain the reason
for such high prices to your clients?
Remember, you are a travel agent and part of your job is to be
persuasive and back up your selections with legitimate reasons.
