Hospitality & Travel

The three main areas of specialisation within the guiding industry are historical tour guiding, corporate tour guiding, and nature or eco-tour guiding. - Historical tour guides lead groups of visitors to national monuments, historical sites, historical districts, religious or archaeological sites, and museums. These guides are well-versed in the history of the site or monument. - Corporate tour guides are employed by large companies that are usually a well-known corporation or travel destination, though non-profit organizations often require guides as well. Theme parks often employ tour guides who lead visitors on tours of a museum within the park that documents the company's history of accomplishments. - Nature tour guides lead groups to natural attractions, national parks, and other outdoor locations where wildlife and scenic locations are the focus of the tour. These guides are experts in the natural sciences and have the ability to engage visitors with their knowledge of biology, geology, and the history of the location. Regardless of the specialisation of the tour guide, some fundamental responsibilities apply to all positions. Their primary responsibility is to make sure the tour is as safe as possible for the entire group. All the best.
