Individual Client Travel Research and Design Brief
Each student independently produces a sourced design brief that analyzes the client profile, geography, weather, transportation, budget, Spanish language needs, current news, and assigned travel problem, then proposes and revises a five-night itinerary concept. The brief includes a short Spanish explanation using travel vocabulary and past-tense verbs and documents how evidence and feedback shaped the recommendations.
