WALKING TOUR ASSIGNMENT
Your main assignment in the Culinary Tourism class is to create a culinary tour of some food aspect or neighborhood of New York City. This is worth 40% of your mark. The primary focus of this project is a walking tour, though other elements (cooking class, meal, demonstration) may be included as part of the package. You will be working as a team of 4 students. The assignment requires 3 elements.
- Brief paper (500-750 words) by each member of the team:
- Name of the proposed tour (e.g. Walking Tour of Hellās Kitchen Foods and Restaurants)
- An introduction to the tour
- Profile of the intended customer
- Description of the theme. (Details about the tour, type(s) of areas covered, areas of interest, type(s) of food/cuisine covered)
- Reasons as to why you choose the theme
- Proposed location that will be covered under the walking tour /theme.
- Duration of the tour
- Budget, that is proposed cost of the tour with itemized breakdown (food, transportation, marketing, other miscellaneous costs)
- Color brochure with pictures (1 page printed both sides and folded) promoting the tour OR website on Open Lab. This is meant to sell the tour to any potential customer. Ā For instructions on creating a site seeĀ https://openlab.citytech.cuny.edu/blog/help/help-category/building-your-site-for-site-administrators/
- Oral presentation.
- Must be presented using MS PowerPoint, Prezi or similar program and include a map as well as photos and/or short videos of the proposed tour site. This should also include much of the same information as the paper, including the tour description, budget, etc.
- Presentation should last no more than 15 minutes + 5 minutes for questions.
- Upload presentation to your groupās page on Open Lab
- Optional elements:
- Use of other audio visuals
- Display boards/poster

I will ask you to make a very brief outline presentation on your proposed tour approximately 2 weeks before your final presentation.
