Now you try it In the following space, describe the worst-case scenario for this problem.

Explanation / Answer

If sales of all these tours increase by 12% by 2012 it will be the solution for the problem, This means that enrollment for the tours must increase at least by 20% to meet this criteria,

First there could be increase in sales of certain destinations but uniform increase in all the five destinations is usually unlikely,

Still the worst case scenario is drop of sales in all the five destinations.
