Pursuing a career in travel often begins with unpaid internships (where beginner
guides share their passion for destinations they've grown to love.These roles are highly
sought after by those looking to break into the industry and are particularly valued by
employers who recognize the importance of practical experience and a deep understanding of
the travel sector.
Essential skills traits needed
While everyone brings their own personality to the job,there are some basic qualities that
all tour guides should have:
Energy and enthusiasm are an absolute must.When the day's tour is done,a guide still
needs to study commentary(现场解说)and confirm the next day's activities,so you will often
need to operate on very little sleep.
A friendly personality is needed when interacting with clients,tour operators and the
general public.
An insight into a wide range of cultures helps a guide settle all kinds of issues,not only
in the place being visited,but also among the people on the tour.
Familiarity with emergency procedures and the capacity to remain calm during critical
situations are invaluable for any tour guide.Your assurance as a tour leader can positively
influence the entire group.
Be aware of the facts
Tour guiding often demands extended periods away from home,with peak work times
sometimes overlapping (with cherished family holidays.Burnout is a challenge to
manage,yet it doesn't necessarily signal the end of a journey in the travel sector.The
industry frequently presents opportunities in product development and sales,where your
guiding experience can serve as a solid foundation for success in these new roles.

General Certificate in Guiding and start your career as our guide.

In the summer of 2015,Jenny,a young environmental enthusiast,traveled to the coast of
California with her family to enjoy a relaxing beach vacation.She was excited to spend time by
the ocean,swimming and basking in the sun.However,as she walked along the shore,she
was astonished to see piles of plastic bottles,broken fishing nets and discarded wrappers along
the sand.The once beautiful beach was now littered with trash,and this made Jenny's heart

ocean grew stronger,and she worked tirelessly to inspire others.

Baby foods on market generally contain too much sugar,causing a source of health
concern,a new report by World Health Organization (WHO)says.

examination by its European office of about 8,000 baby food products on shelf between
November 2017 and January 2018.It warns that the very high level of sugars present in
commercial products is a cause for concern.They increase the risk of overweight and teeth
holes while causing a lifetime eating habit in favor of sugary foods.
"In around half of the products examined,more than 30 percent of calories were from
total sugars and around a third of products contained added sugar or other sweetening
agents,the world health body said in the report released on Monday to update guidelines for
babies'diets.The examination that covered more than 500 stores in Austria,Bulgaria,Israel
and Hungary also finds the labels of up to 60 percent of the inspected food are misleading
consumers by claiming to suit babies under six months old.
In the report,countries are advised to make new laws on controlling high sugar intake,
ban added sugars and sweeteners in baby foods,and put an end to the promotion of breast-
milk substitutes ()It also requires labels on candies and sweetened drinks,including
fruit juices and condensed (milk,to state they are not suitable for children under
three.Meanwhile,WHO recommends that children between six months and two years be fed
nutrient-rich home-prepared foods.
WHO has long recommended that babies receive only breast milk for the first six months
of life."Good nutrition in babyhood and early childhood remains the key to ensuring best
child growth and development,and to better health outcomes later in life,"said Zsuzsanna
Jakab,who served as the WHO Regional Director for Europe,in a statement.

Zaib grew up in a single-parent family.Her mother,Rohana,worked as a receptionist in
a small office and had not been paid for two months because the company was in crisis.Still,
she spent every coin she saved to send Zaib to the best school in the city.
Two days ago Zaib came home frowning."I can't eat my lunch again,"she said,pushing
away the simple rice and vegetables."Saddaf always brings dairy chocolate.Why can't I have
some?"Rohana gently promised to buy some next week,but Zaib locked herself in her room.
The next morning Zaib left without breakfast and went straight to Saddaf's house after
school.Mrs Saba,Saddaf's mother,welcomed her warmly,prepared tasty food and let the
girls play late into the evening.Zaib thought,"Aunt Saba is better than Mummy.
The following day Mrs Saba only gave her breakfast and asked the driver to drop her at
her own house so she could pick up her lunch box.Zaib was surprised to see her mother's red
eyes and pale face;Rohana had worked through the night.In an unsatisfied voice,Zaib
asked,"Did you pack my lunch?"Rohana nodded and pointed to the kitchen.
Zaib grabbed the box,disappointed,sure it would be the usual plain meal.On the way to
school she stared at the unexciting container,wishing she could stay with her aunt forever.
During the lunch break,she slowly opened the lid-and gasped.Lying on top of the rice
was one perfect heart-shaped chocolate.Her cheeks burned.At that moment she realized how
much her mother loved her in spite of their poverty.Silently.she whispered,"Sorry,Mummy."
But saying sorry in her heart was not enough.She knew she had to act.
注意:
