Have you always dreamed of traveling to interesting places and getting paid to do so? As a professional tour guide or tour director, this dream can become a reality. But how do you get started as a tour guide? How do you find travel jobs? Where is work available for this type of work? Below are some helpful tips to help you find the tour guide job of your dreams.

What is a Tour Guide?
Before seeking a job in this field, you should have a clear understanding of the job and its requirements. A tour guide is not merely someone who leads a group of people around at a particular site. They are highly skilled at what they do. They understand how to communicate and work with people. They know the rules and expect the group to follow those rules. Tour guides study hard to learn all they can about the site or attraction so they can answer questions along the way. They understand the importance of safety and are trained to handle emergencies when they arise.

Types of Tour Guide Jobs
Tour guide duties vary according to the type of job. There are adventure travel jobs where you’ll go along with a group of travelers by bus or plane to adventurous places and remain with the group for the entire trip. With this type of job, you must study about many different sites and attractions in the destination area.

As a tour director for multi-day tours, you’ll be responsible for managing arrangements and services as well as providing relevant information and commentary. You might become a tour director for African safaris, mountain hiking, winery tours, walking tours – whatever your desire.

So, whether you want to travel abroad or find a tour guide job or tour director job in your local area, there are plenty of opportunities.

Tour Guide Training
A smart first step in finding the travel job of your dreams is to take a tour training course. Training is available for tour guides, tour directors, and even professional tour management. With tour training, you’ll learn about safety procedures for various travel methods and destinations. You’ll also learn about working with suppliers, handling emergencies, documentation, delivering informative narration, and more.
Both tour guide training and tour director training will help you prepare to work with people, become a great speaker, get organized, and be able to act immediately when emergencies arise.

Online Tour Jobs
You can use online resources to find the tour guide job or tour director job that will fit your personality and desires. Determine the type of position you would like and where you would like to work. Do you want to travel to exotic places and return home on the weekends? Or, would you rather be a tour guide in your local area so you can be home at night with your family? Once you decide which job is right for you, search online using your criteria.

There is also online tour training offered through over 1,300 colleges worldwide. So, you won’t even have to leave your home to learn these valuable skills.

No matter what your career goals, there’s a travel job waiting for you!

What You Should Know about Travel & Tourism Employment

Posted in JOBS in TRAVEL Industry on April 30th, 2008 by admin – 1 Comment

BY ANNA SHOUTWORTH

Employment in Travel and Tourism is a wise choice to be involved in during this prime time of growth. In my professional opinion, it is a great time to get started, if you haven’t already. You have many options to choose from, but before I go into those, I would like to tell you a little about what is currently happening in this $7 trillion gold mine industry.

The statistics are in and they speak for themselves when it comes to choosing a job in a hot industry with potential to grow. In 2007, Travel and Tourism is expected to post US$7 trillion of economic growth activity (total demand), with expectations to grow to US$13 trillion by the 2017. Not only is this a true reflection of how strong this industry already is, but how much opportunity it holds for it’s future. As far as employment goes, 1 in every 12 jobs held in the World is within Travel and Tourism alone. With high demands from tourists everywhere, the chances of encompassing your very own successful niche within the business to serve them, is very great.

There are many careers out there to choose from, and you’ve obviously chosen travel for a reason. Maybe you have a strong desire to travel yourself. It’s possible you just enjoy serving others in satisfying their interests. Either way, there are unlimited possibilities to choose from. You could work as a travel agent, a tour guide, a person who sales tours or local activities, you could even work for an airline or in a large luxury hotel or resort. What I have learned is that, although all of these jobs or careers are great, they don’t ultimately bring you very much money. Plus your still playing the infamous game of trading your valuable time for money, which most often leaves you feeling unsatisfied with either your income or your lack of free time. There are many ways to generate a substantial amount of money by simply applying your creative efforts with technology… aka working independently online.

An important key to getting yourself into a rewarding position is to find a company that benefits you both financially and with its perks or benefits, such as discount traveling for yourself and your family as well. You will want to work with a company that has a reputable name in the business and one that is established.
