Here are some guidelines for developing your presentation.

·        Why would anyone want to visit your planet? Obtain complete and up-to-date information about the statistics (Astronomer’s Report-size, distance, etc.), features (Geologist’s Report- craters, mountains, water, etc.), conditions (Meteorologists Report- temperature, atmosphere, gravity, etc.), and historical points of interest (Historian’s Report- mythology, what recent probes and reconnaissance satellites have discovered, etc.)

·        Include accurate facts in a creative/ humorous manner.  For example if you were to do a propose a visit to Saturn and you wanted to get across that the winds can blow up to 1,800 km/hr then maybe propose hand gliding activities to take advantage of the conditions.

·        Design a travel presentation with Frames.  What should people on your tour bring with them?  Swimming suits?  Skis?  Use poems, illustrations, pictures to enhance your brochure.  Include the facts in a fun way.  Provide activities for your clients- remember it is a vacation for them.  Of course these activities will have to be presented in a creative/ humorous way!

·        What should a tourist pay for such an outrageous vacation, and why?  Figure out how much it will cost to sign on for the adventure, and be prepared to explain the cost to clients so that they will understand what they are paying for.
