Abstract

Tourist Guiding ranks amongst the world’s oldest professions and guides have an important role to play in tourism. Tourist Guides are representatives of their cities, regions and countries. They contribute considerably to the perception of the destination. Tourist Guides are able to help travellers understand the culture of the region visited and the way of life of its inhabitants. They have a particular role, on one hand to promote the cultural and natural heritage whilst on the other hand to help ensure its sustainability by making visitors aware of its importance and vulnerability. Tourist Guides are often the only local contact for travellers, especially those from other countries. They can therefore contribute greatly to a mutual understanding amongst nations and cultures.
