How You Will Be Assessed
How well you do in this learning cycle (Inbound Tourism) will depend on a combination of assessments. Essentially, this project is concerned with what information is wanted and needed by tourists travelling to our host destination, Dubai. This will be the basis for our destination marketing Web Page. For this subject, Introduction to Tourism, this project is NOT about mastering web design. Your Business Computing teacher will assess you in that area. The content of your created Web Page is important in this subject
Your grade for this project will be determined by combining the results of a number of assessments leading to your destination promotional Web Page.
