The agency has given you the option of working with another travel agent to complete this assignment.

You and your partner have been asked to create a power point presentation to highlight a region within Canada to try and encourage visitors to that particular region. The completed power point will be presented at the annual Travel Expo at the end of the project. Your power point, with a maximum of 10 slides, must include the following: Physical description and location of your chosen region; Map of the region; Tourist information of your chosen region; Industries found within the region.
