Tourism topics can pique the interest of just about anyone pondering a vacation. Topics can include saving money on a trip, picking an exotic location or traveling to a foreign country. Speakers can address issues about using online travel companies to get the best deal, choosing cheaper hotels and using coupons to save money. In talking about an exotic trip, speakers can address lesser-known island resorts, an African safari or extreme sports destinations. When talking about traveling to a foreign country, speakers can discuss visiting different cultures where different languages are spoken and the best times of the year to go. The best speeches about tourism use good visuals and possibly a short video clip to get the audience excited about a trip, even if for only a few minutes.
Topics about technology get an audience excited about the latest tools and gadgets to hit the market. How these gizmos make someone's life easier and save them money in the long run can make for a compelling speech. Technology topics also fit every age group, including showing grandparents how social networking can help them keep up with their grandkids' lives. A fun and exciting speech topic also covers the history of particular gadgets; walking people through the history of television, radio and even personal listening devices will garner a few laughs about the way people lived in the not-too-distant past.
Health topics make for intriguing speeches, especially for people wanting to learn about losing weight, quitting smoking and eating healthy. Speaking to people about lowering their cholesterol and controlling their diabetes becomes especially effective if the speaker can share personal experiences on the topic. Sharing anecdotes about struggles with any health-related issue allows the audience to connect with the speaker. When speaking about health, refrain from using "doctor speak," or technical language that people may not understand. Many health topics come with two functions: to inform and to persuade.
Though some people dread a house full of company, others love to entertain, and speech topics about entertaining don't just focus on the food, but rather all of the other issues people face when a guests arrive. Topics about choosing the right music, selecting the right guests and making appropriate party favors get an audience thinking about these and related ideas. Speaking about how to deal with rude guests, what to do if someone has "too much fun" and what to do if people bring unwanted guests are all topics that make great speeches.
