3. Project: Go Around Asia (the trade mission)
1 Introduction:
In the project Go Around Asia you must compile and organize , with some fellow students,
three trade missions based on a demand from one or more "clients" to trade fairs in
Southeast Asia. This project includes trade missions, trade fairs, among other countries like
China, India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Taiwan, Vietnam and South Korea.
While compiling such an attractive trade mission you must also include a tourist trip and you
must pay attention to any tourist attractions, the various transportation and
accommodations.
In the project Go Around Asia you will also learn how you with help of the social media
environment Wordpress, can put this way of business online in the market. In addition, you
will also learn how you can use the other social media like Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn
for successful communication on this product can with your customers.
1.1 The assignment: Organize a trade mission to Southeast Asia
The trade mission must be offered attractive and marketable to customers. This means also
that you must choose three countries from the group; China, India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka,
Thailand, Taiwan, Vietnam and South Korea.
You must compile a trade mission per single country, which is easier to sell, or a combined
trade mission in which the three countries chosen, will be visited.
The topics for the trade mission you can make a choice of one of the following industries;
electronics, facility services, homebuilding, hospitality, clothing, fashion, agriculture, mining,
shipbuilding, tourism and or other industries. In this series you must choose three different
subjects.
The transportation and traveling should be focused on the business trip industry; that means
the flights must be done as business class and local transportation must be organized by
car, taxi or train. You also must provide customers the opportunity for a touristic trip. For
example, visiting China cannot be done without a visit to the Chinese Wall.
The assignment must be accomplished based on the following topics:
• 3 trade missions to trade fairs in three countries in Southeast Asia (or a combined trade
mission),
• 3 different industries,
• Group size per trade mission at least 9 and a maximum of 25 participants,
• Flights in business class,
• Stay in five star hotels, based on 1 person rooms
• Duration of the trade mission at least 6 days with a maximum of 11 days

4. You must present these products on your 'own' site in WordPress. The site must be arranged
in a way, that people can go from the home page directly to the various components and
other information. You must show that you can communicate these trade missions from
WordPress with other social media like Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn with your possible
customers (prospects). The customer will, in fact in many cases, go through e-mail to
contact you and the follow-up contact will be continued via social media
