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.

You can imagine the type of services provided is pretty broad. Typically, as a business concierge or corporate concierge, you can expect to deliver such services as coordinating dry-cleaning pickup and delivery to the work site, mobile detailing, shoe and jewelry repair, travel arrangements, event ticket procurement, and so on. Most services are targeted for completion by the end of the workday as an added convenience to the employee or tenant
Corporate concierge services are often added to a corporations work-benefits package as an incentive for new talent. This employee perk has also proven quite effective in increasing employee productivity and morale. Just as in a hotel, corporate concierges are located onsite for easy access. A full menu of services is provided to each employee with hours of operation and contact information. Many of the larger corporate concierge businesses use an online portal through which employees can utilise the service. Thank you.

An event planner will typically do the following:
Meet with clients to understand the purpose of the meeting or event. Plan the scope of the event, including time, location, programme, and cost. Work with the client to choose where to hold the event and whom to contract for services. Inspect places to ensure they meet the client's requirements. Coordinate event services such as rooms, transportation, and food service. Monitor event activities to ensure the client and event attendees are satisfied. Review event bills and approve payment. Whether it is a wedding, educational conference, or business convention, meetings and events bring people together for a common purpose. Meeting, convention, and event planners work to ensure that this purpose is achieved seamlessly. They coordinate every detail of events, from beginning to end. Event planners also search for potential meeting sites, such as hotels and convention centres. They consider the lodging and services that the facility can provide, how easy it will be for people to get there, and the attractions that the surrounding area has to offer. More recently, planners also consider whether an online meeting can achieve the same objectives as a face-to-face meeting. Thank you.

A job as a travel guide entails enabling visitors to experience a specific or several specific local activities to the fullest. Travel guides may be hired at a particular tourist destination, or be hired through a travel agency. Travel guides generally spend an entire day, or even more, with a group of tourists, taking them to various landmark spots in a particular area. Tour guides, on the other hand, normally specialize in giving tours of one particular tourist destination. There is no prerequisite to become a tour guide. There is no minimum or maximum age limit for the profession. It is preferred that tour guide be a graduate in any discipline, preferably art, archaeology, history and culture. Ministry of Tourism provides licenses to the tourist guides and also organizes Regional Level Tourist Guide Training Programmes. Many of the states in India have made registration of tourist guides mandatory. The tourism department holds examination which consists heavily of general knowledge, history and culture, etc. Thank you.

Many or almost all airlines are its member. It provides standards for different training aspects of aviation training. These standards then become norm for training centers in almost all countries. Once a training agency gets IATA nod, the students are assured of jobs in the industry. IATA training offers most flexible training schedule. It could be classroom based, it could be via distance learning, it could be via virtual classroom etc. In addition to this, its courses ate designed for fresh recruits, for in-house training of airlines personnel, mid-career courses, etc. The best part is that it looks ahead and plans for courses for what is awaiting us future also. All in all it can be said that due to efforts of IATA there is standard of training across airlines and across countries. Thank you.

Airline's direct distribution works within their own reservation system, as well as pushing out information to the GDS. The second type of direct distribution channel are consumers who use the internet or mobile applications to make their own reservations. Travel agencies and other indirect distribution channels access the same GDS as those accessed by the airline reservation systems, and all messaging is transmitted by a standardized messaging system that functions on two types of messaging that transmit on SITA's high level network (HLN). These messaging types are called Type A [usually EDIFACT format] for real time interactive communication and Type B [TTY] for informational and booking type of messages. Message construction standards set by IATA and ICAO, are global, and apply to more than air transportation. Since airline reservation systems are business critical applications, and they are functionally quite complex, the operation of an in-house airline reservation system is relatively expensive. Prior to deregulation, airlines owned their own reservation systems with travel agents subscribing to them. Today, the GDS are run by independent companies with airlines and travel agencies being major subscribers. As of February 2009, there are only four major GDS providers in the market: Amadeus, Travelport (which operates the Apollo, Worldspan and Galileo systems), Sabre and Shares. There is one major Regional GDS, Abacus, serving the Asian market and a number of regional players serving single countries, including Travelsky (China), Infini and Axess (both Japan) and Topas (South Korea). Of these, Infini is hosted within the Sabre complex, Axess is in the process of moving into a partition within the Worldspan complex, and Topas agencies will be migrating into Amadeus. Thank you.
