Travel Guide
Travel the world and get paid for it. Or share your local favourite spots and be rewarded. In other words, be a tour guide. Surely people are lining up to nab a guiding job? Not so, says an Australian tourism industry group that’s calling on travel lovers to consider becoming tour guides in a bid to address an industry shortage. Australian Tourism Export Council managing director Peter Shelley says that while the return of international students and those on working holiday visas has plugged a gap in hospitality generally, tour guiding is a more specialist area. “It’s probably not as well known about but it still has a high impact on the visitors that we can attract and service into this country.”
