For modern individuals, traveling plays a significant role in life. Every time a person embarks on a journey to a new place, they not only change their surroundings but also immerse themselves in unique stories, cultures, traditions, and values.
A tour guide plays a crucial role in this process, enabling travelers to fully experience and enjoy their journey by sharing their knowledge and skills.
A tour guide is a specialist who, in addition to introducing people to the history and culture of the places they visit, also creates a unique experience that enhances the perception of travelers.
A tour guide is a true storyteller who can engagingly and accessibly convey information about landmarks, architectural sites, natural wonders, and historical events.
A tour guide must be able to work with various groups of people: from schoolchildren to retirees, from locals to foreigners, considering their interests and level of preparation. This requires deep knowledge not only in history and culture but also in communication psychology.
A tour guide is a professional who helps people see the world in a new light, enriching their knowledge and impressions.
Tour guides must continuously develop, study new topics, and adopt innovative approaches to excursions to stay relevant and engaging in their profession.
SIKE offers personnel training in a convenient format through the interactive e-learning course 'Tour Guide'.
