Persona

An adventurous, prosperous and Christian actor.

Our perfect tourist is a male person who's 32 years old. His name is Christopher Wilde. He lives in America. He’s single because he's an actor and travels a lot.

His parents got divorced when he was only 10 years old. He always lived with his mom. He married his childhood love but after 4 years of happy marriage she died in a car accident. Together they have a son, called Lucas. After his wife died, he started to travel with his son. The purpose of his travelling was to gain more life experience for him and his son and to discover the world.

Christopher is an actor so he belongs to the lower uppers. When he was a child he didn't have much. His parents belonged to the lower class. Because his parents were really poor, they believed that God would help them. Therefore Christopher was raised in a very Christian tradition. When he started to act he gained a lot of money in a short time. He uses the money to travel and to take care of his son and parents.

By visiting our country Christopher will learn more Christian traditions. Because his wife died, he's afraid to bond again. In a country like Terabithia, where there is gender equality, he has to learn how to communicate with women again.

Christopher is a non-smoker. He likes monarchies and supports the church. His hobbies are swimming and climbing.

Christopher is an extravert and self-assured person. But he can be quite stubborn. He's a strict but fair parent.

At 7 am Lucas wakes his father. Christopher puts on his slippers and goes downstairs to prepare breakfast for his son and himself. Before they start eating, they pray to thank God. After breakfast Christopher helps Lucas to get ready for school because the bus picks his son up at 8 am.

After his son has left for school Christopher gets ready to go to the set of the movie he’s playing in. At noon, he has lunch with his co-actors. Everybody loves Christopher and likes to listen to his breathtaking adventures.

At 4 pm his job on the movie set is done and he goes to the local school to pick up Lucas. Before they go home, they first go to the flower shop to buy the most magnificent red roses. Then, they make a stop by the graveyard. The flowers are meant for Lucas’s mom. They say goodbye because tomorrow, they will leave on a two-month journey. After having said goodbye to Lily, they also stop at his parents’ house. His parents are always glad to see their son and grandson. Christopher’s mother has made a healthy organic dish for dinner. But first, they pray again for a good journey and a safe return.

After dinner they arrange the last things for the journey. While Lucas and his grandparents are playing a game, Christopher goes to the pool to take a swim. Swimming always clears his head. Then he picks up Lucas and goes home. Tomorrow they will leave at 5 am so they have to go to bed early. But first, Christopher reads a bedtime story to his son. At 9 pm they go to sleep and dream about the adventures they will make on their journey.

Vision

Terabithia, the oldest monarchy in the world, boasts a typical (but good) image. We want to keep that way but, on the other hand, change is needed. We must keep up with the changing times. We want to create a positive atmosphere for the people who live, travel or work in Terabithia. It’s our duty to keep them happy, satisfied and to fulfil their wishes.

Terabithia is a place of optimism and happiness. We want to keep it that way.

Tourism in Terabithia has expanded the last couple of years. Nowadays our hotels are always overbooked, so we need new accommodation. Therefore we started a new project. This year we want to start building treehouses in the forest. We expect the renovations to be ready by the summer of 2016. Summer is always a peak season. Now we only have four treehouses but we want double that number. A treehouse consists of a lobby, a lounge and ten separate rooms including a kitchen and a bathroom.

In Terabithia the inhabitants have communicated by regular post for a long time. Our inhabitants already use social media on their computers and we want to expand the use of social media. We want to launch smartphones. In two months’ time the government wants to import 10,000 smartphones from foreign countries. If the smartphones are a success, the government will import more smartphones every two months. To help the citizens with the use of smartphones, the government organizes free workshops.

Terabithia isn't a very ecological country, but the government wants to change that. Nowadays Terabithia ships all its e-waste to foreign countries. In 2016 we want to build a recycling company. All the other companies have to dump their e-waste there. The company will recycle all this e-waste, for example filter the water and the air. The company will also create new jobs.

The story of Terabithia

Terabithia is  a small island in the middle of the pacific ocean. It's the oldest monarchy in the world, lead by King Scott the third. King Scott III is also the head of the church.

Terabithia produces qualitative goods and services. Because of their gold and diamonds the island has a very trustworthy market. The island is part of an economic zone where the people, the goods, the services and the information are freely exchangeable. But Terabithia isn’t a very ecological country. They have a lot of e-waste and aren’t good at recycling so they ship all there e-waste to foreign countries. Terabithia is a member of the United Kingdom, so they share the GBP.   

The official language of Terabithia is English. Terabithia is a very Christian country. So they discriminate people who believe in other religions, therefore integration is a big issue.

Terabithia is quite a primitive country. They have televisions and computers, but the inhabitants don't use telephones or smartphones. They communicate by post. It is an old tradition. Another tradition of the Terabithians is the huge fire on New Year's Eve. That night all the inhabitants come together at the beach to dance around the campfire. 

In Terabithia people can play various sports like tennis, football, basketball ... But the most famous sport in Terabithia is Lacrosse.
