EIR 8&9 :DREAM HOLIDAY
For this practical, we were told to update on our blog with pictures and evaluation criteria of travel websites with regards to our ‘Dream Holiday’. For my dream holiday, I would love to go to Australia and go to the largest city in Australia which is Sydney and also go to places such as the Kangaroo Island and Port Lincoln.
I have chosen Australia as my dream holiday destination as Australia is a very big country and there is so many places that we can explore! By using the search engine Google I manage to find a very reliable website, http://www.australia.com/index.aspx which gives us a ton of information of where we can go and all. It is more like an organizational tourism website which advocated the landmarks, special events and accommodation within Australia.
After using evaluation criteria for web resources, I am able to rate this website base on the coverage, accuracy and purpose. This website is an official tourism web page for tourists after all; hence its aim is to promote Australia as one of the most exciting country to be visit.
The website http://www.australia.com/index.aspx is an organization website that enables tourists to get interesting about Australia such as history, culture and facts. This website also provided us information on what we can do too, for example there is a link that tells you what you can do at Sydney's Great Coastal Walk - Barrenjoey to Royal National Park for 8days! They also provide some information on where we should go based on our interest. For example I love excitement hence I can go and dive with the great white sharks in port lncoln,SA!
Since this website is not only an official website but also an organization website. This website will provide highly accurate information. This website also have a coverage on accommodation, landmarks and etc which enable tourist to navigate around one of the biggest city in this country Sydney easily.
I chose to go Australia because there are so many places in country I would love to explore I would love to go to Sydney because I want to explore places such as Avalon, the Narrabeen lakes and head to clovelly. I would also like to go to Port Lincoln to face one of the sea’s most ruthless killers, the great white shark. With all this exciting things that can be done in Australia, Australia is definitely my dream holiday.
