Poster ideas

My tourist package ideas have been largely centered around one of my favorite series, The Silo Series (WOOL, SHIFT & DUST) by Hugh Howey. Taking place in the future, humanity has been relegated to living in underground silos. The world is closely controlled, with "cleanings" looming over the society as punishment for dissent and any thoughts of (or initiation of) uprising or questioning authority. "Cleanings" are a death sentence where the accused is sent out into the inhospitable world (or so they have been told for generations).

If you haven't read these, I suggest you do so immediately (or at least as soon as school is out because I couldn't stop reading when each volume came out!). I downloaded his new series, SAND, as soon as it came out but I haven't had a chance to sit down and read since I have so much shitty reading to do for school).

My ideas are as follows:

1. A tour package from the lowers (where the mechanics and workers keep the silos running) to the mids (the middle class - farmers, couriers, etc.). Perhaps it's what we would consider an eco-tourist package where people pay to go have the "farming" experience (check out WWOOF - It's a thing). Though now that I type this idea out, it seems more like something that folks from the uppers would do (uppers are the upper class - IT, government, etc).

2. A tour package based on the stories of old (the people of the silos have never been outside, nor were they aware of the existence of anyone outside of their world). A level of the silo has been developed to have a viewing station that presents images of the old world. People can save their chits (currency) to take virtual tours of a world that no longer exists.

3. Tourism between silos. The silo world began with 50 silos (for 50 states). Over the years, some have been eradicated (gassed by leadership due to insurgency and dissent) or through human nature. Eventually some silos began to communicate and create tunnels underground to move between silos. Each silo may have retailed details of the culture of the state they sprung from.

4. The outside world has recovered enough to venture outside. The silo dwellers can tour the dilapidated, vegetation covered ruins of what used to be the United States (eventually they may be able to venture "international travel" but knowledge of vehicles and mechanized travel has largely been lost over hundreds of years of no travel aside from up and down endless flights of stairs).
