Features: Typically, we believe that a tour guide's job is to lead tourists to scenic spots for visits and to narrate the cultural and historical background of these places. However, this is merely one aspect of a tour guide's responsibilities. During the tour, the guide must take full responsibility for the tourists. To perform well, a tour guide must master many skills. When receiving tourists, a good guide should play four roles: historian, teacher, performer, and host. This book focuses on the role of tour guides, the professional qualities they should possess, the procedures involved in guiding, handling complaints during tours, as well as demonstrations and practice activities in different settings such as important scenic spots, scenic areas, and landmarks. It guides learners to apply the knowledge they have acquired to familiarize themselves with all aspects of tourism activities, enabling them to develop both theoretical knowledge and practical experience in tour guiding.
