Is the future prospect of tourism major good? Do you have to take a tour guide card for this major?

Future: There are few career prospects for domestic tour guides. Most of them want to make money while they are young and then change careers. On the one hand, the quality of employees in the tour guide industry is not high; On the other hand, tourism cannot provide long-term career planning for tour guides. In short, there are only three career paths for tour guides: (1) Go all the way to black on the tour guide's path; (2) Being a travel agency manager from outside to inside; (3) complete the career change. Therefore, from the perspective of career prospects, it is difficult for the tour guide industry to provide a stable environment and good career promotion space.

Only a few tour guide practitioners can sign labor contracts with travel agencies. Most tour guides are temporary workers without job security and social insurance. It is normal for a tour guide to serve several travel agencies. But all this does not prevent tour guides from becoming middle-and high-income people. It is normal to earn 10 to 20 a year. This money comes from what we call shopping kickbacks and tips in European and American civilized societies. How high is the rebate? For example, for a tourist shopping product with a price of 1000 yuan, the rebate accounts for 7500, including 2500 for tour guides, drivers and travel agencies. If a tour group of 30 people travels for four days, the per capita shopping cost is 1000 yuan, and the tour guide can earn 7500 yuan in these four days. If you can handle two groups this big in a month, it is so easy to earn more than 10 thousand a month. Of course, there are off-season and peak seasons, so the income of tour guides fluctuates, but overall, the money is still considerable.

Employment threshold: very low. You only need to get a tour guide card, but you can also be a tour guide if you don't have one, which is the legendary black tour guide. However, to be a tour guide who can make money without being complained by tourists, you must skillfully and vividly lead tourists around and arrange their itinerary. In addition, you must be eloquent and use various methods (basically all kinds of tricks) to make tourists shop as much as possible and participate in self-funded projects, so that you can make money and travel agencies can give you high-quality travel.

If you are a woman, being a tour guide has inherent advantages. Poor upstarts rarely lose their temper with girls and rarely refuse female tour guides' requests. If they are using some means, they will wait for the money properly, even if they know that they have been slaughtered, they are very happy. Of course, there will be many middle-aged uncles who look obscene, and they will seize every opportunity to harass and tease. These are two sides of the coin.
