Vacation Plus! Introduction A local travel agency is seeking additional employees during the summer months to assist with seasonal vacationers. As a part of the interview process, the agency is asking each applicant to develop a website to convince vacationers to travel to a specific destination.

Task Research and choose a vacation spot of your choice. Create a website to convince the vacationers that the spot you have chosen is a hot destination. Your website must include a persuasive description (at least 200 words) of the destination, a Voki tour guide, a map of the destination, at least 3 pictures of the spot, a video about your spot, and at least 3 other items of information that will convince the vacationers to visit your destination.

The Process and Resources On the Discussion Board indicate your chosen vacation spot to reduce repetition. Make sure you cite all of your sources.
