"Trilogy" of Tour Guide Career Planning

Nowadays, many people think that tour guides eat? Youth meal? Yes Moreover, many travel agencies also indicate in job advertisements that as long as they are under 30, the old tour guides who have worked in travel agencies for five or eight years have switched to back office. Considering the physical quality, the tour guide works very hard and really needs a strong body. But besides having a strong body, profound knowledge and rich experience are the most important, which is still flawed for young people.

A tour guide told reporters: Many people say that tour guides eat? Youth meal? Yes, it is undeniable that being a tour guide is really limited by age, especially for female tour guides. But I think you can still have a long career as long as you love this industry and make up your mind to go on. For example, it is better for us to go out as a full escort and always pick up a tour guide. So I think the tour guide doesn't just eat? Youth meal? Yes, on the contrary, are you eating? Age meal? Yes ?

The career planning of tour guides is divided into three steps.

How should tour guides realize the sustainable development of their careers? Career experts believe that the career planning of tour guides can be divided into three steps:

The first step is to become a qualified tour guide. At present, most of the tour guides are employees and students from other industries except some full-time tour guides who have been formally trained and registered. Therefore, if you want to engage in this business, you can seize the tourist guide card, seize the recruitment peak of several tourist seasons every year, fully exercise your ability, accumulate good language ability, knowledge connotation and industry experience, and strive to enter a regular travel agency as a full-time tour guide.

If you are already a qualified tour guide, you should practice hard and make full use of every opportunity to lead a team to be excellent. In addition, you can also participate in some tour guide competitions to enhance your ability and industry visibility.

The second step is to become a skilled tour guide. Excellent tour guides are in short supply, and skilled ones are scarce. At present, those who are engaged in tour guide work can learn a skill to improve their professional competitiveness. For example, overseas travel is getting hotter and hotter, and there is a shortage of talents to develop various overseas travel routes. As a tour guide, you may wish to learn more about the development of tourist routes, strengthen practice and lay the foundation for career promotion. For another example, there are very few tour guides who know Japanese, Spanish, Russian, Korean and other small languages. Learning a foreign language can add many bright colors to your career.

The third step is to become an all-round senior tourism talent. At present, the requirements of travel agencies for tour guides have been upgraded from simple full-time escort and local escort to designing tourist routes, which has created a higher entry threshold for tour guides and made the tour guide profession more irreplaceable.
