THE APPRENTICE GOES TO COSTA RICA |
|
|
You have all landed a spot on the latest version of "The Apprentice".
Donald Trump has turned over the leadership of this next venture
to the CEO of one of his large resort development companies. This
particular CEO is very interested in the environment and eco-tourism.
. Donald wants to develop an extravagant resort in Costa Rica, but the
CEO wants to make sure that the ecosystems of the rainforest and the flora
and fauna are not destroyed. In order to compete to become Donald's
next "Apprentice" you will each travel to one of the National Parks or
Nature Reserves in Costa Rica. You need to gather pictures and information about the park to bring to the Conference room table. |
|
In order to win the competition you need to
prove the following:
|
| 1) Your location is the prettiest, most
interesting, and the overall best place to build a tourist resort in Costa
Rica. a) You will use great pictures of your park to prove this. |
| 2) You have a plan as to how the resort
can be built without damaging the ecosystem. a)
You can prove that you are knowledgable about rainforests, how to protect
them and how important they are to Costa Rica and to the global
environment.
b) You can prove that you know
what the impact of destruction of the rainforest can be on endangered
species. |
| 3) You can work within the regulations of
the Costa Rican government to get the resort built. a) You can add to the stability of the Costa Rica economy by providing more opportunities for Eco-tourists to visit. b) You can add to the stability of the Costa Rica economy by providing more jobs for Costa Ricans. |
|
You and your partner
will incorporate your research and your views in a PowerPoint presentation
to persuade Donald and the CEO to choose your project in your National
Park. If you can, you will hear the words: "You're hired!"
