I want to be a tour guide, but I don t know if it s futuristic!

I don't know how much you know about the tour guide industry! If you're just a little interested, I think it's better for you not to move towards it...

As the saying goes, the tour guide wakes up earlier than the chicken, sleeps later than the dog, eats worse than the pig, and does more work than the cow. I used to think that tour guides could make money while having fun, but that's not the case at all. I studied tourism, although my teachers taught this, but they also felt that tour guides were not done by people, so they joined the teaching field...

Moreover, the tour guide eats youth, and when he is old, he can't do it, so he has to find another way.

As for salary, there is a saying: tour guides take the money from selling cabbage and handle the heart of selling white powder. The tour guide is very low, which is good in the peak season, but the salary is not enough to support yourself in the low season.

Finally, I wish you all the best in your work and hope it can help you!

Guide? Is the friend a woman or a man? If it's a man, just indulge it, if your friend is a woman, it's best not to go, maybe you don't know the inside story and unspoken rules of the tour guide industry, you go to search for "the unspoken rules of the tour guide industry" and you will know.

Hello, dear. This major cultivates tour guides and docents who meet the development requirements of modern tourism enterprises and have tourism knowledge and skills. If you study the relevant courses and related skills of the tour guide qualification certificate examination in school, you can obtain the tour guide qualification certificate.

Tourism in China has become a huge sunrise industry, China's tourism industry will continue to have a good momentum, is expected to receive more than 2 billion people throughout the year, domestic tourism revenue of nearly 1 trillion yuan. With tourism accounting for 10% of GDP in 2020, China's primary industry is unshakable.

The reason why you want to be a tour guide is to want to walk around and have a look.

When the income of the tour guide is unstable, but the work is relatively free. It's good to look at personal choices.

1. The current tour guide base.

There is no fixed salary in the book, so the tour guide mainly relies on rebates.

2. Now the national tourism market is basically vicious competition among travel agencies, and zero group fees are used to do tours, so tour guides not only can not get the corresponding wages from travel agencies, but also give part of their income to travel agencies to ensure the profits of travel agencies.

3. So it's very stressful to be a tour guide. Travel agencies arrange low-quality hotels, cars, and meals because of the small tour fee, and the complaints and dissatisfaction of the guests need to be carried out by the tour guide on the front line, and the guests should do their best not to complain. However, compared to other industries, the income and freedom of tour guides are relatively good.

When you are a director, your income is unstable, but your work is free. Whether it's good or not depends on personal choice.

The current tour guides basically do not have a fixed salary, and the full-time tour guide has a basic salary of four or five hundred yuan a month, so it is the same as nothing. Therefore, the main thing for tour guides is to rely on rebates. Now the country's tourism market is basically rotten, travel agencies vicious competition, zero tour fee to do the group, so the tour guide not only can not get the corresponding salary from the travel agency, on the contrary, but also to give part of their income to the travel agency, in order to ensure the profit of the travel agency.

So being a tour guide is very stressful. Today's guests are not very good waiters, travel agencies because of the small tour fee to arrange low-quality hotels, cars, meals, guest complaints and dissatisfaction need to be on the front line of the tour guide, and to do their best to let the guests do not complain.

But compared to other industries (I mean the general office job you find without any special expertise), the income and freedom of the tour guide are relatively good, maybe you can make a lot of money by going out for four or five days for a group.

If you're a big traveler, it's not good at all, and going to the same place dozens of times is painful.

The good thing is that you can see for yourself. But it's hard ... There's a lot to memorize. And it's rainy.

I'm a college student, and I didn't take the tour guide certificate this year, so I'm very sad.

Yes. It's still good for ordinary people, but it's impossible to achieve a high level. Among the current tour guides, the income of foreign language tour guides is particularly high, and the small language tour guides are the most lacking, and the market is the most demanding.

Prospects for the development of tour guides:

The tour guide industry is now a controversial industry, due to many reasons, the social reputation of tour guides is not good, the general impression is that "the quality is not high", the work is similar from the level structure, low-level (qualified and junior) tour guides account for the vast majority of the tour guide team, for; The number of middle, high and special tour guides is less than 4%. From the perspective of educational structure, the educational qualifications of the tour guides of our bureau are generally low, including those with high school, secondary vocational and technical secondary school education, those with college education, and those with bachelor's degree or above. Foreign language tour guides have slightly higher education than Chinese tour guides, but 52% of them still have a college degree or less.

The direct consequence of this status quo is that "the tour guide is the shopping guide", and uncivilized behaviors such as stealing customers, throwing off the group, and forcibly asking for tips are not uncommon. The same tour guides, route arrangements, amusement items, etc., make it impossible for tourists to recognize the work of tour guides after traveling. Despite this, neither the tour guides themselves nor the travel agencies have paid enough attention to the tour guide in the era of experience tourism.

As an intermediary factor connecting the main body of tourism and the object of tourism, the tour guide is the bridge and link between the tourist destination, the travel agency and the tourist. With the development of social economy and the advent of the era of experience tourism, the role of tour guides will become more and more important, and the demand for high-quality new tour guides will also increase. On the whole, the future of tour guides is bright.
