The Human Chain Receiver plays a crucial role to be the best person to address the concerns of the tourist and guide you in your language during your stay. In many countries the guides are bilingual or multilingual professionals who graduate from tourism schools. There are trained, selected psycho, the art of human relations, group dynamics, techniques for the transmission pleasant tourist information, maps, geography, history, archeology, art, dynamics and tourism services receptive, customs, folklore and field practice. It is also important that the guide knows the practical features of the services provided by their colleagues in the receiving chain. For example, work the front desk can be complemented with the guide if you know and respect each other's work. The mastery of several languages is a working tool without which it would be possible to entertain and provide adequate services to a tourist during his stay. The more languages you speak more correctly guide and more work will qualify.
A good guide should be able to captivate his audience while presenting a variety of illustrative and reference topics. The guide is also the "executor" Visitors Program teacher. All that is mentioned as "included" in the program must be fully implemented to avoid complaints. So adjust your explanations to the inclement accurate opening and closing of attractions such as museums, cathedrals and national parks, taking into account the time for meals en route and the toiletries tourists.
There are guides who specialize in urban tourism and contemplative, others in Eco tourism; others are guides instructors in mountaineering, naturism, diving, fishing, water skiing or snow, and bird watching. There are those who work for particular companies and there is “freelance” working on their own piece. In many countries are organized in unions to protect their interests. These unions put pressure on tour operators to hire qualified professional guides with training and get paid a fair wage for their services. An example of the involvement of unions we have on tourism in holy places for Christianity where the church is ignoring guidelines priests use the services of local guides.
There in the inbound tourism industry another form of guiding groups known as "guide-mail", "tour-leader" or "tour escort. They are employed by travel agencies for monitoring stations that visiting programs are met and to ensure the quality of contracted services in the host country. They do not provide illustrative information that is the role of local guides, but you can use them for reference information about the recipient country and to solve the technical problems related tourist services including Package. The "courier" also plays a critical panel as cultural interpreter as a mediator between culture and the receiving station. This mediating role is particularly useful in preventing or clarifies misunderstandings or friction that may arise with native approval. The work of the guide-mail also requires the mastery of language and the ability to treat customers with sensitivity and tact in dealing with a complaint. They are also an important factor in the task of persuading tourists to acquire additional services such as optional excursions.
