Graduates of the “School of young guide” go on routes

Graduates of the "School of the Young Guide" try themselves in a new capacity and go on routes. The guys conducted a tour of the display objects, and the route passed through the central and historical parts of the city. At the initial stage, the approbation of excursion routes takes place on popular points of attraction of city guests. Within the framework of test tours, graduates not only visit the exhibition facilities and tell a brief historical background about them, but also during the discussion they share information with each other, supplement and form a control text along the route. The current test tour included a route through the historical center of the city, in particular along the streets of Svetlanskaya and Aleutskaya. The young guides paid special attention to Briner’s mansion, the monument to Yule Briner and the Versailles Hotel. Tourist Information Center of Primorsky Krai (Visit Primorye) is the organizer of the "School of the Young Guide" is not the first season. 

Graduates of the fifth stream were more than 20 people. After completing the course of lectures, children are actively involved in events organized by the Regional Tourist Information Center. So, on Sunday, April 21, young tour guides together with the staff of the tourist information department of the Tourist Information Center of Primorye (Visit Primorye) will hold a tiger quest for the participants of the project “More than a journey”.

 After completing our studies at the School, we continue to work with graduates and involve them in our projects. We believe that it is important to support beginner guides and give them the opportunity to express themselves on the routes. For us, this is the involvement of graduates and immersion in the practice of the tour guide profession, attracting young specialists to our projects. In turn, this is an opportunity for children to develop creative thinking and their own creative vision in the presentation of the tourist potential of the city of Vladivostok, – shared her impressions of working with graduates Anastasia Povetkina, Deputy Head of the Tourism and Information Department of the Tourist Information Center of Primorye (Visit Primorye). The course of lectures was held for three months. Participants listened to lectures from different speakers, immersed themselves in the basics of the profession of a tour guide, studied aspects of local history, the regulatory framework and the basics of communication and interaction with tourists.
