P/C/48. Dissertation Project. Tourism information website: Travel to Africa

The aim of the project is to build a website providing travel information for the British public interested in travelling to Africa. The objective of the website is to attract more tourists. The first part of the paper establishes the rules for designing tourism websites proceeding from the review of the Internet resources, CD-ROMs, journal articles and books. While building the website, the author applies development methods based on the modules studied in the Interactive Multimedia Production Course. The second part of the research leans on the review of the existing tourism sites, particularly the ones designed for Africa. The third part analyses the lessons learnt from the project and contains valuable tourism web design recommendations. The conclusion describes the successes and faults of the work.
