b. Which evaluation criteria did you used to evaluate the multimedia websites for you dream holiday? Why?
c. Why did you choose to go to your Dream Holiday destination
My dream holiday destination is full of thrill, fun, danger and risks. Well, what is fun without danger or risks in the first place? It's a unique place which offers a lot of sports and I think that not many people would even want to go there. Whistler is no doubt the place where I want to be going.

A year ago, my brother introduced me into the world of mountain biking. Since then, I've been active in this by regularly having bike outings with him and other people whom I've met through riding. Through this, I have a closer bond with him and we often talk about our problems and the hectic days that we went through together while riding.
As such, he usually buys DVDs about mountain biking and one of my all time favourites is Collective: Seasons. Seasons is a film that follows 7 of the world's top mountain bikers through the course of 4 seasons of one year. The film explores what it means to be a full time rider as told through the lives of downhill racers, slopestyle competitors and big mountain freeriders. The moment the movie was showing, I was captivated throughout. The movie had immense landscapes and mother nature took the toll on me because it made me engaged to the movie.

Above is the last segment of Collective: Seasons which is my most favourite as it was very enjoyable just by watching and it made me want to be part of it. I highly recommend you to watch it. The segment shows 7 riders riding together. Not all of the riders have the same riding styles but nonetheless it was a very smooth clip and the riders get to show their skills and most of all, have fun.
After researching, I found out that the venue for this segment was shot at the Karate Monkey Section in Whistler Bike Park. Whistler is a Canadian resort town in the Southern Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains in the province of British Columbia, Canada. Over 2 million people visit Whistler annually primarily for alpine skiing and mountain biking.
However, going there would cost you some money. Money will go to flying tickets, accommodations, personal expenses. You'll also have to purchase passes to be able to enter the bike park. The passes alone would cost around $150.
And so, the website I used is www.enjoywhistler.com/. It's a website which features a lot of information and the things that Whistler offers.
And now the evaluation criterias that I chose and why:
Purpose - I found the website through searching for packages for a Whistler trip. It became quite clear to me that the website's main aim is to market the accommodations available in Whistler. Almost all packages had different hotels in them and I would safely say that its main aim is to market accommodations.
Accuracy - The website is maintained by an organization aimed to provide the best accommodations towards the people going there. The website provides a lot of activities done at Whistler, packages, transportation and even has a restaurant guide so I have no doubt about its accuracy.
Coverage - For those who are at a lost as to what or where Whistler is, this is the website to go to. A person may have no clue, but after viewing the site, it shows the activities, accommodations there, packages and this can really help someone. It also covers the various mountains informations and stats like the temperature and trail map.
Accessibility - This website is easily accessible to anyone as it requires no registration to view the whole web page.
Presentation and Management - As Whistler have different activities on different seasons, there's two options; summer and winter. Through clicking, there's a wide array of activities offered and shown which is really neat and user friendly. Visitors would not get lost through viewing this site.
