parks.
There are four requirements for your job as a travel agent:

any link on the national park site;
2) keep a dated daily journal (at least seven entries, could be more
entries if you wish) about what you have seen and things to do while
in the park;
3) on the website, find the address to write to that park and write
a letter requesting information about the park; the letter must be
written in correct letter format;
4) create a travel brochure for the park that you visited. You may
include drawings, pictures, etc. in your journal.
Your travel brochure may be in any form (example: written or video)
and should highlight the best aspects of your national park to tell
a prospective visitor what they should expect to see and what activities
are available while at the park.
Remember, your goal as a first rate travel agent is
to get people to visit the park."
