With a solid theoretical base, it applies the theory to the practice with a hands-on focus and guides the reader through the key roles and responsibilities of a tour guide. It tackles a diverse range of issues and areas, such as: Interpretation techniques and types; Responsible tourism and ethics; Leading visitors in a (post) Covid scenario; Best practice 'do's and don't's; Setting up a tour guiding business. Packed with real-life international examples, each chapter follows a thorough pedagogic structure which includes features such as learning objectives, key terms, checklists, tips, discussion questions and activities, and further reading. Interpretation and Tour Leadership: Principles and Practices of Tour Guiding is an essential toolkit for all students and practitioners looking to understand more about this essential part of the tourism industry." —Provided by the publisher
