Is a tour guide a good occupation? Do tour guides make money?

Nowadays, people often travel and often meet tour guides. It is a very tall experience to see the tour guide holding the flag in front and leading a group of people to introduce one scenic spot after another in detail. I feel that this job is very easy. Every day is just a trip. So, do tour guides make money?

In fact, the most difficult thing in the tourism industry is the tour guide. They have no basic salary and have to pay the travel agency. Most domestic travel agencies do low-cost tours without telling tourists the real side, which eventually leads to conflicts and disputes between tourists and tour guides.

The most difficult thing for tour guides is to make tourists happy to shop. Most people who sign up for low-cost tours are the most ordinary people. Where do they have so much money to buy things? If tourists don't shop, tour guides can't make money, because travel agencies don't pay tour guides. Do you think there can be no contradiction between tour guides and tourists? So many people can't be tour guides.

What really makes money in the tourism industry is not tour guides, but tour groups, because low-priced tour groups are basically zero, and tour groups have to pay back the money. Why do you think tour guides are good?

The tour guide is an important part of the tour route. The level of tourists' experience of this tour depends on the tour guide, followed by the scene. If guests don't get along well with tour guides, they will travel all the way. Therefore, in the current tourism industry, tour guides must do everything possible to make their guests happy. Especially now, there are many low-cost groups in the tourism industry. In order to reduce the loss cost, some travel agencies squeeze tour guides in various ways, making them have to produce. There are even some tour guides of travel agencies who can't earn a penny for a two-or three-day trip and have to fill in their own money for food and accommodation. Because shopping can't do anything.

Now many old tour guides are reluctant to take tours. In fact, tour guides and tourists are equal, but in the understanding of many guests, tour guides are waiters, and you have to do whatever I ask you to do, and you can't say "no", which also leads to many tour guides' reluctance to take tours in the first line. There are three main factors:

First, face all kinds of emotions of guests and pollution.

Tour guides are front-line service personnel. If the guests have any dissatisfaction or complaints about this trip, they should vent them directly on the tour guide. The tour guide can't face the guests directly, so he can only swallow his pride. And strive to solve problems for travel agencies.

Secondly, in the face of commissions and remuneration paid by travel agencies at any time, travel agencies may run away.

At present, because there are too many low-cost tours in travel agencies, it is sometimes difficult for tour guides to prepay tour fees to travel agencies. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for travel agencies to ask tour guides to pay tour fees in advance. However, due to various reasons, they can't advance the tour fee in advance, so they have to pay for it themselves. By the time they returned to the travel agency for reimbursement, the travel agency had been in arrears for a long time.

Third, under the pressure of shopping stores, I may be paid "zero" by various groups at any time.

Now some travel agencies offer low-cost tours or even lose money, so the pressure is on tour guides. For example, there are two shopping malls, and some travel agencies will not pay the tour guides. It depends on the results of your shopping center. For example, some powerful tour guides are very profitable. If the mall is effective, a point can earn thousands of dollars. Because of the pressure, many people who have passed the tour guide certificate are reluctant to be tour guides, although they earn a lot.
