  5. If you could spend 14 days in Indonesia, where would you go? What would you like to

  6. Congratulations! • You have got a new job as a travel consultant. Your first client has asked you to plan a 14-day trip to Indonesia for them. • Your boss has said that if this VIP client is happy with your work, you might get a bonus of free flights and travel to Indonesia. • The client has seen some photos and promo videos of Indonesia, and they want you put together a tour for them …

  10. The task You need to complete TWO major tasks for this project. 1. Plan an itinerary for the full 14 days. • Include the activities (where the client will travel to, what they are going to do) • Include where they are going to stay • Make transport arrangements – say how your client will travel from one place to the next • Cost the travel arrangements in Indonesian rupiah and the Australian dollar • Include some basic Indonesian phrases to give to your clients when travelling • Develop some cultural tips (to support your client to avoid being a #badlybehavedtourist) Use the checklist and planning sheet to help you organise your ideas and information. 2. Create a travel brochure to advertise your tour to potential customers.

  11. Don’t forget • You are trying to sell your tour so it must be realistic (not many tourists have millions of dollars). • People are more likely to take an interest in your tour if it is visually attractive.

  12. Part 2: Becoming an intercultural traveller #badlybehavedtourist Week 4, Lesson 1

  13. What is a #badlybehavedtourist?What is an #interculturaltraveller?

  14. #Badlybehavedtourist • There are no set criteria for a#badlybehavedtourist. It depends on the norms of the culture. What may be acceptable in one society, maybe offensive in another. • Every society has guidelines or norms of what is acceptable behaviour. These norms reflect the culture and beliefs of the society. • Tourists are guests in the country they are visiting, and tourists need to understand the culture and follow the accepted norms. • In other words, it is the local people who get to decide if people are being a #badlybehavedtourist.

  15. Explore links to #badlybehavedtourist across the world and discuss (student led). • Making his mark: ‘Ding Jinhao visited here’: https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/05/28/chinese-teenager-ding-jinhao-defaces-3500-year-old-egyptian-luxor-temple-engraving-name_n_3345141.html?guccounter=1 • Tourists arrested for crashing a drone into a cathedral: https://www.travelpulse.com/news/destinations/tourists-arrested-for-crashing-drone-into-cathedral.html • Dolphin dies in China after tourists manhandle, photograph It: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/19/dolphin-dies-tourists-china-abused_n_3459895.html • Tourists behaving badly: how to avoid being a travel jerk: http://www.traveller.com.au/tourists-behaving-badly-how-to-avoid-being-a-travel-jerk-1v187 Instructions • Divide the class into four groups. • Assign a link to each group. • Look at each link and then ‘think–group–share’ using the questions: • Why is this an example of a #badlybehavedtourist? • What makes their behaviour ‘bad’? From whose point of view is it bad?

  16. Think– Write some thoughts to answer the two questions. 2 minutes

  17. Group – Turn to a group and discuss. 5–10 minutes

  18. Share – Come back together as a class and share response to questions. 2 minutes per group
