When working in a team of 30 to 40 guides, coordination and teamwork are essential along with respecting timings and all details of the itinerary. We may thus experience less freedom of choice and control. Yet, even when itineraries are tight and demanding our visitors still want and deserve to be treated as individuals and to enjoy individual experiences. This is particularly true for guiding for large conferences, incentives, events and the cruise industry. Here is a challenge to our professionalism and an opportunity to prove the true Art of Guiding!
The “Teamwork for Mass Group Movement” seminar is an important learning experience for tourist guides. This is an opportunity to look at practical techniques, which will be useful in your profession, by expanding your potential to contribute towards quality and standards in guiding.
