Web sites...

Here are the web sites I found.

I was thinking I might turn this Machu Picchu site into a Machu Picchu tourist resort site. So rather then having all the old Incan ruins there would be a large resort on top of them kind of poking fun at this whole idea of resort travel packages and how it really takes away from the true travel experiencing. I was thinking about using Machu Picchu since its in such a remote location and putting something like a tourist resort in there, especially on the site, would really take away from the true nature of the setting.

Here is an other Machu Picchu site.

...and here is an other one, but this one I don't really like as much.

These web sites are tourism sites for Argentina and Peru... I was really looking for one on Bolivia, but I couldn't find any good ones. So I though I might take one of these and model a site for Bolivia off of one of them.

Here's a resort website for reference...

Hi Elizabeth,
I like your train of thinking, did you see Jess Porter's site on the class blog which was serving as a comment on the tourism industry in S.E. Asia? I wonder how absurd you could make it to really push the humor.

Also, it could go in a more personal direction if you made a site about Bolivia, as if it were an official site but you could use your own memories or family stories of the place instead of the regular facts we find in the guide books.
