A travel brochure project helps you teach others about a place by combining research, writing, and art. The goal is to make a small folded paper guide that looks inviting and gives useful facts. Students can choose a city, state, country, landmark, or natural area as their destination.
A strong brochure uses colorful design, clear headings, and accurate information to make readers want to learn more.
Key Facts
- A tri-fold brochure has 6 panels total: Panel count = 3 outside + 3 inside = 6.
- Include the destination name, map or location, attractions, climate, food, transportation, and a must-see list.
- Use short text blocks: 1 paragraph = about 3 to 5 sentences.
- Balance pictures and words so every panel has a clear purpose.
- A good title panel should include the destination name, a strong image, and a short slogan.
- Plan before decorating: Research notes + brochure template + draft layout = stronger final project.
Vocabulary
- Tri-fold brochure
- A paper folded into three sections that creates six panels for information and pictures.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Putting too much text on one panel makes the brochure hard to read. Use short sections, headings, and bullet-style lists to keep the layout clear.
- Choosing pictures without captions can confuse the reader. Label images so people know what place, food, or attraction they show.
- Forgetting important travel details makes the brochure feel incomplete. Include climate, transportation, attractions, food, and a must-see list.
- Decorating before planning can lead to crowded or messy panels. Sketch the layout first, then add markers, printed images, and color.
Practice Questions
- 1 A tri-fold brochure has 6 panels. If you use 1 panel for the cover and 1 panel for sources, how many panels are left for attractions, climate, food, transportation, and a must-see list?
- 2 You printed 12 destination photos and want to place the same number on each of the 6 brochure panels. How many photos should go on each panel?
- 3 Your brochure looks colorful but has no headings and only one long paragraph. Explain two changes that would make it easier for classmates to read and understand.
