Product Description
Remember that fantastic tour you went on? What made it so memorable? In most cases it would have come down to the skills, knowledge and qualities of the guides. This book aims to provide guides with the skills and resources to create experiences like this each time they lead a tour. In creating these positive experiences, guides need to manage a vast array of intrinsic elements and relationships that occur within every tour. The interpretive approach to tour guiding is an effective way to focus on these efforts. It is an approach that is gaining increased recognition as an integral component of the way forward for learning and development programmes for guides. This book provides accessible content and uses a variety of concepts, techniques, activities and case studies. Learning tools found in each chapter include: activities to help you develop and extend your understanding of the content and material covered; special focus studies that provide real information on guiding for a range of situations; and a wide range of references, sources of further information and websites for further study.
