Dear all
We need your suggestions for two countries for our new
holidays in Central and South America.
Remember, an ideal country offers a) a range of activities and
locations, and b) something unusual or different.
Our main customers are adventurous young adults, but
we’re interested in some new customers:
• ‘first timers’ – people having an adventure holiday for the
first time
• older adults (40–65) – active, rich, perhaps retired.
Let’s have a meeting next week to discuss all your ideas.
