Congratulations you are a travel agent at "CROPOLA.Co" a Travel Agency specializing in Central and South American Travel locations. You have just completed a telephone conversation with Mr. Bush who wishes to spend a 12 day vacation traveling in Central or South America. His goal is to see as many cultural events and geographical places of interest as possible within a 12 day travel period. He knows nothing about any of the countries and wishes you to choose the country, propose an itinerary, and provide information on all places or events you propose within the itinerary. He owns a large company and plans to travel extensively when he retires (soon). If you do a good job you will earn his future business. Therefore you have decided to create a brochure and a media power point presentation supported by your research from the world wide web, and any other resource you will like to use in the presentation.
