An Overview Of Tour-Guide Training Literature In Türkiye, Nazım Çokişler
International Journal of Tour Guiding Research
The discussion of tour-guide training, which started in the 1990s in Türkiye has been taken up in the associated literature more than in any other country.

Yet, understanding the evolution of such training-related discussions has the potential to lead to remarkably useful information for future analyses of the subject.

Interpretation Performed By Certified Tourist Guides In Lisbon During The Pandemic: A Case Study, Luis Miguel Brito, Cristina Carvalho
International Journal of Tour Guiding Research
Interpretation quality distinguishes tourist guides. According to an investigation carried out by the authors in 2012, tourists who travel with a guide claim that although these professionals play many different, relevant, and complementary roles, interpretation is, without a doubt, the most important asset. In Europe, a traveller can find tourist guides who have a certification issued by international European organisations and who have gone through training in interpretation, together with guides who do not have any training at all and are not certified by any organisation. This paper is only about the former. The idea of conducting this study arose …
