Need an article praising the tour guide profession

Tour guide is an enviable profession. In the impression of many people, they are elegant, knowledgeable, well-informed, and earn a lot of money. They are a group of freelancers. People generally think that tour guides can enjoy sightseeing and it is a relaxing and easy-to-make money profession. In fact, tour guide is a complex, highly intelligent and highly skilled service job. In the minds of tourists, tour guides are representatives of a country (or region) and friendly messengers of the people. Most tour guides provide tourists with good travel enjoyment with their extensive knowledge, superb tour guide skills and enthusiastic services, and are well-deserved "civilian ambassadors". However, once upon a time, people labeled tour guides in various ways. They feel that tour guides only care about making money and not about service. They "collude" with tourist attractions to "defraud" tourists of their money. in their minds. The tour guides have become a bunch of shady liars. However. How many people know the hardships of a tour guide? 1111.,,,,hard work, hard work, hard work, 24,242,424 hours, hours, hours. The work intensity of a tour guide is different from the "9 to 5" working hours of ordinary people. The working hours of a tour guide are quite the same. Flexible, sometimes you can take a long break, but during the peak tourist season, you may take several groups without a break. During the period of leading a group, the uncertainty of working hours determines the uncertainty of work intensity. Once a tour guide joins a group, he or she is basically working 24 hours a day. During the day, the group eats, travels, uses, and plays, and at night, they stay and rest. They may also have to deal with some emergencies at night: for example, if a guest is sick, he or she must help. If you have to find a doctor or there are not enough hotel rooms, you have to find another place to live. The physical and psychological fatigue is difficult for outsiders to understand. Most people can completely control their time outside of 8 hours of work, but this cannot be the case for tour guides. Depending on the itinerary, the tour guide may have to get up at five or six in the morning and rest at 11 or 2 in the evening. Sometimes he can only rest for three or four hours a day, and the energy and physical exertion often reaches the maximum. Almost every tour guide has stomach problems, and they often don’t have food to eat during group tours. In the dead of night, when tourists are sleeping in their dreams, they may still be working. You may say that since you have a few months of “free time”, you can do it Another job. Then you have misunderstood again. Generally speaking, the company notifies the tour guide of the group departure on the first day of the group departure. In other words, the specific departure time of the group that is finally arranged cannot be controlled by itself, so there is no way In other professions, I don’t think any unit would want someone who can just leave. 2222.,,,, Danger at all times. Danger at all times. Danger at all times. When leading a group, tour guides are basically on the front line. They work hard to ensure the safety of tourists. However, the safety of tour guides is often ignored. So far, I have not heard of any travel agency that buys insurance for tour guides, nor has I heard of any insurance company that offers insurance suitable for tour guides. Tour guides usually sit in the passenger seat. Most tourist buses do not have seat belts for the passenger seats. In the event of a car accident, the tour guide's safety cannot be guaranteed at all. The nature of the job determines that tour guides are often in the car, which increases the probability of close contact between tour guides and car accidents. There are many accidents among tour guides in Jiuzhaigou, several occur almost every day, and many tour guides die every year. And they do not have social insurance. The safety interests of tour guides are not effectively protected. Furthermore, tour guides have to personally lead tourists to scenic spots. The more "natural" the scenic spots are, the more the tour guides have to stand in dangerous places and tell guests to be careful. The guests are safe, but what about the tour guides? When leading a group, tour guides are basically on the front line. They work hard to ensure the safety of tourists. However, the tour guides' own safety is often ignored. If it is in Sichuan, everyone knows that the road to Shu is as difficult as reaching the sky. On our Tibet-Qinghai-Tibet Sichuan-Tibet line, you can imagine how big the risk is? There are many accidents among tour guides in Jiuzhaigou. I am afraid of scaring you if I tell you how many there are. However, they do not have social insurance. The safety and interests of tour guides cannot be effectively guaranteed. 3333.,,,, what everyone is most concerned about is treatment, treatment, treatment Let’s first look at the income of tour guides. Most tour guides do not have a fixed salary, and a very small number of tour guides have a monthly salary of 300 to 400 yuan. It’s true that tour guides can get some commission (commission is the intermediary income earned from stores after guides accompany tourists to tourist shopping stores), but did you know that the commissions are not only taken by the tour guides themselves, but also shared equally with the drivers and other accompanying persons? It even has to be turned over to the company. As for tipping, that’s nonsense! Think about it, would you tip if you travel? You can think about how many days in a year are suitable for traveling, and you can calculate how many months in a year tour guides have income, and how they use the income in these months to support their families. In areas where tourism resources are not very rich, tour guides will receive a small salary. I don’t know the exact amount. It is said to be lower than the local minimum living allowance, which is about a few hundred yuan; it is estimated that the proportion is less than 20%. At present, The vast majority of travel agencies and tourism companies are unwilling to spend money to hire tour guides for their own economic interests. Therefore, the management of tour guides is directly managed by tour guide service companies; tour guides have to pay a fee when leading a group with a certain travel agency. A considerable amount of quality deposit is required. When encountering a group with zero or negative tour fees, the tour guide must pay the so-called "capitation fee" before leaving the group (that is, the tour guide spends money to buy the tour guide).

This unreasonable salary system cannot fully evaluate the workload and quality of tour guides, and cannot guarantee compensation for the value of tour guides' labor. It greatly dampens the service enthusiasm of tour guides, causing tour guides with the best service quality to become "shopping guides", hindering the healthy development of the tourism industry. I am afraid of scaring you if I tell you how many there are, but they do not have social insurance. The safety and interests of tour guides cannot be effectively guaranteed. 3333.,,,, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, benefits, etc. Look at the tour guide’s income.
