Travel Brochures

We’d love to see what you would say about your region if you made a travel brochure.

 During the summer holidays in America we often travel to the beach, the mountains, national parks, big cities, small rural areas and some even travel to other countries on cruises or airplanes.  We see parades and fireworks on the Fourth of July, people have picnics, do water sports, hike, camp, swim, and spend time with family and friends.

 

  • If you could say five to ten things about your region what would you say to get people to visit and see how wonderful life is there?
  •  What should others make sure they see?  
  • Are there local foods, places to stay or things to do that would make your region the best place to travel?

We challenge you to make a comment on our site and tell us all the important things we should know before we travel.   We’d love to see some comments from all 50 states and from the 7 continents.   Can you help us out and participate during the next few weeks?

  1. Hello Ms. Todd and students at Rocky River!

    I met you at the VIF Global Panel a few weeks ago. My family lives near Raleigh. Raleigh is a wonderful city to visit. It is the capital of North Carolina and is growing by leaps and bounds.

    The top ten list of things to do in Raleigh are:

    1. NC Museum of Natural Sciences(free)–animals, specials programs, and interactive areas
    2. NC Museum of Art (free)-art from around the world
    3. NC Museum of History(free)-outstanding NC exhibits and located across from the science museum–do both museums the same day!
    4. Pullen Park(free/$)-visit NC’s first public park and one of the largest public parks in the world–ride the train, paddleboats or carousel–play on one of the new playgrounds or have a picnic with your family
    5.NCSU(free)-visit one of our state’s largest universities
    6.Marbles Kids Museum($5.00)-a two-story interactive children’s museum–it’s awesome
