21 February: International Day of the Tourist Guide

21-02-23

21 February marks International Tourist Guide Day, a day that aims to raise awareness of the fact that tourist guides are cultural ambassadors for the regions they represent. In 1990, fifteen countries participated in International Tour Guide Day. Since then, the number of participants has grown steadily.

Tourist Guides provide guidance and information to tourists and visitors about the culture, history and cuisine of every corner of the world. Through their work they contribute to boosting tourism, which is an important economic activity for cities.
