2020 has been a difficult year for tourist guides around the world. In many countries, guides are only allowed to lead under strict conditions. But are guests booking a guided tour at all at the moment? Is there a second wave with new restrictions, travel warnings and lockdowns?
We want to analyze the situation with the chairmen of tourist guide associations and discuss the situation with you.
International experts from cruise and city tourism will give us an outlook on 2021 and the upcoming requirements for tourist guides.
