## Project: A presentation

A short presentation about Tourism
You are going to give a presentation about one aspect of tourism.
Here are some ideas to choose from but you can choose another idea of your own.

- Different types of travellers
- Eco-tourism
- Packing for the vacation
- Air travel – everything you need to know
- On holiday or at work: career paths in the tourist industry
- Travel tips if you’re visiting.... [your destination]

There is a lot of information online about what makes a good presentation and talk.
You need to find out about what makes it good.
Here is a site to visit. You can also look for your own.

#### Process

With your partner, make a list of 10 tips for a great presentation.
Watch this presentation about the Future of Tourism.

Is it a great presentation? Why (not)?
Give examples, explain why/why not.
Discuss these with your classmate.
Compare your answers with the example answers below. Did you also find these answers?

- Confused beginning. He appeared to have the wrong slides (or not) it wasn’t very funny.
- He included many irrelevant personal stories (how is tramping relevant to the future of tourism?).
- His points weren’t immediately obvious.
- He was a bit rude to his audience (comment about Dutch and boiled vegetables).
- He didn’t really sound authoritative although he is an authority.
- Overall it wasn’t an engaging presentation.

#### Your presentation

Now you are going to prepare and then present your own talk.

- Look at your list of things to do, and things not to do.​​
- Practice your talk with your classmate.
- Give your presentation to your class.
- It should not take longer than three minutes.
- Your talk should include a maximum of ten slides.
- Final check: have you thought of everything?!
