Career planning of tour guide major college students

Career planning for tour guide majors

Fan Wenyi

I. Career planning

Good wishes: successful career, happy family

Direction: opening a travel agency

Overall goal: to complete college studies and have your own career.

2. Social environment planning and career analysis

1. General social environment: China enjoys political stability and sustained economic development. With the rapid development of global tourism, China's tourism industry is also developing by leaps and bounds, from the previous secondary school level-junior college level-undergraduate level, and even more, it can go abroad for further study and international exchanges.

2. Special social environment of tour guide occupation: Because the management science in China developed late, most of the management knowledge originated from abroad, and there are still many imperfections in the enterprise management in China. China urgently needs management talents, especially senior management talents who have been systematically trained. Therefore, the professional market of enterprise management is broad. To develop enterprises in China, we must adapt to the national conditions of China, which requires the combination of scientific and artistic management and dynamic adaptation to the environment. Therefore, a large number of foreign-funded enterprises attracted by China market are facing the task of localization. This provides many opportunities for people who are going to do management work in foreign companies.

3. Working environment of tour guides: Tour guides have become shopping guides, and their behavior has become the focus of attention of tourists and the media, and has become the object of criticism. This situation should be said to be inseparable from the living environment of tour guides. The brutal competition between travel agencies, the tourists who are not rich are only interested in the travel price and turn a blind eye to the differences in service quality, the tourism-related industries do whatever it takes to increase their income, and the lack of laws and regulations makes it difficult for tour guides to have a sense of identity, and so on. These factors have become the working environment of tour guides. However, with the development of social economy, a large number of high-quality tour guides are still in demand.

Third, the understanding of the tour guide profession:

1. Having a healthy body, loving and working hard is the key to doing a good job as a tour guide. Tour guide work is not only a complicated mental work, but also a heavy physical work. When receiving a tour group to organize tourism activities, we should walk, climb mountains, work continuously, and adapt to the differences in climate and diet ... All these require the tour guide to have a healthy body and be able to adapt to such long-term and multi-faceted work. Secondly, it is inevitable to take the tour group in the appearance light every day. Moreover, tourists often get lost and don't concentrate on time. In this case, the tour guide has to go to find the tourists in person, so it will be very tired to run back and forth. But when we fall in love with the job as a tour guide, we can tolerate it even if it is hard, and we will think it is worthwhile if we are tired. When we do this, we will feel that life is still full of passion and freshness, and every day has new expectations. There is motivation when there is expectation, and motivation is the basic prerequisite for success.

2. China's active participation in global and regional cooperation is conducive to the development of tourism. Building a well-off society in an all-round way has also brought important opportunities to the development of tourism. In the process of building a well-off society in an all-round way, China has achieved rapid economic growth, and the economic development will still be in a steady rising period in the future. Under the goal of building a well-off society and a harmonious society, the overall living standards of the people will be significantly improved. The 28 Beijing Olympic Games and the 216 Shanghai World Expo will be good opportunities for Chinese culture to rise in the world culture and show its own stage to the whole world. Through these two stages, China will further enhance its image in the international tourism market, and inbound tourism, outbound tourism and domestic tourism will face unprecedented development opportunities, which puts higher demands on tour guides. Tour guides should deeply understand the customer-centered service concept, how to respect customers' rights and emotions, meet the individual needs of players, and realize their overall care. At the same time, we should understand the generality of the tour guide's role, which is gradually separated from the traditional image. Contemporary tour guides bear multiple roles-they are disseminators of knowledge and qualified interpreters. Liaison officer; Translation; Teachers; Actors and scholars ...

3. Simply put, tour guides are cumbersome, busy and have complicated interpersonal relationships. Tour guides need to have good psychological and physical qualities. The job of tour guides is no longer just to take visitors to enjoy the scenery and eat some special snacks, but also to learn to arouse their enthusiasm. Therefore, the important duties of tour guides are: (1) arranging tourism activities; (2) doing a good job of reception; (3) explaining and translating by tour guides; (4) maintaining safety and dealing with problems.

IV. Personal analysis and role suggestion

1. Personal analysis:

Self-awareness:

(1) Personality: good eloquence, quick use of geography and history; Good adaptability; Patience, kindness, responsibility, pragmatism, easy integration, filial piety, attention to teamwork, good communication with others, easy to trust others, independent and adventurous (dare to try), sensitive.

2. Role suggestion:

V. Decomposition and combination of career goals

Career goals: senior managers of famous travel agencies.

(1) College goals:

1. Try to pass CET-4 in my freshman year.

2. Sophomore students strive for second-class scholarships.

3. During the winter vacation of my sophomore year, I went to a travel agency in my county to practice and enhance my practical ability.

1. After graduation, I can work in a * * travel agency.

2. Open a travel agency within ten years after work.

VI. Criteria for success

My criteria for success are the coordinated development of personal affairs, career and family life.

As long as I do my best, my ability is brought into play, and I improve myself at every stage, I won't feel failed even if my goal (especially my income goal) is not achieved. Giving myself too much pressure is a failure in itself.

I think it is understandable to sacrifice the realization of career goals for the family. You must have your own family before you are 28.

VII. Career planning implementation plan

Gap: 1. Advanced tour guide management concepts and rich tour guide management experience of multinational enterprises; 2, as a senior professional tour guide necessary skills, innovation ability; 3. Lack of rapid adaptation ability; 4. There is a gap in physical adaptability. 5. The social circle is too narrow.

Fan Wener

1. Analysis before making a decision

According to my understanding of the way out of tourism management, there are roughly the following directions:

Travel agencies (tour guides, planning and sales, etc.), hotels (sales, lobby assistants, etc.), airlines of tourist international airports (air ticket locators) and tourism bureaus (civil servants).

Second, my personality characteristics

All along, I have lived an ordinary life and my family conditions are not plentiful. In the past, I almost never worried too much about my future, and always felt that my employment was too far away from me. Now, I am a student who is about to enter the sophomore year. After seeing the hard job-hunting experience of my seniors, I realized that the future is not as bright as I imagined, and I need to make a good analysis of myself. In order to better carry out their career planning. Through careful self-analysis, I found that I have a wide range of hobbies, like writing and singing, but I am not very good at it. I like to communicate with people. I am a lively and cheerful girl with optimistic personality, strong sense of responsibility, and like to explore and innovate. Many things have novel ideas. Being warm and generous when interacting with people is my advantage, so my interpersonal relationship is good, but one of my obvious shortcomings is that I don't have enough perseverance in doing things, and I often like the three-minute heat, so my plans are often not completed satisfactorily.

3. Solving personality defects

I know that once a person's personality is formed, it is difficult to change, but if we want to be talents in the new century, we must overcome many difficulties, develop our own advantages and change our own disadvantages, so I made up my mind to get rid of my lack of perseverance in doing things. I found that another problem when I made a plan before was that my plan was too broad and difficult. From now on, I should start with simplicity, and when making a plan, I should start with simplicity. Make big things small, make small things small. Slowly accumulate your perseverance in doing things bit by bit! But sometimes it is not enough to rely on my own efforts, so I will always pay attention to other people's opinions and evaluations, and ask teachers and classmates to supervise and cooperate.

IV. Reasons for choosing this employment direction

Although the tourism management major has not been established in China for a long time, it has a long history abroad. Because the tourism industry in capitalist countries is relatively developed, which in turn stimulates the research on tourism and the cultivation of tourism management talents, tourism management specialty has always been a popular specialty. At the same time, these efforts have also been rewarded accordingly. Scientific research and a large number of professionals in the front line naturally contribute to the annual tourism income of more than 1 billion US dollars in the United States.

because of its own characteristics: pollution-free, high output value and high added value, tourism has become an important growth point of the world economy, and countries have invested heavily in improving tourism and its supporting facilities. Among them, the cultivation of tourism management talents has naturally become the top priority. In China, the development of tourism has also been put on a very important position, and it has been included in the pillar industry of China's economy in the future. It is naturally essential to develop tourism management talents in China. Our country has set up tourism management major in many colleges and universities, and more colleges and universities will set up this major, and more talented people will also devote themselves to this sunrise major.

The tourism industry will develop by leaps and bounds. With the expansion of the market, the scale of the tourism industry will expand sharply. It is predicted that the total tourism output value of China will reach 8% of the GDP around 21, and it will become a pillar industry of China's economy. According to the research results of the World Tourism Organization, by 22, China will become the world's largest tourist destination, receiving 137 million inbound tourists annually, while the number of outbound tourists will reach 1 million in 22, ranking fourth in the world.
