Description:
The Green Guide Alliance is a community of professional Tour Guides, Tour Directors, Tourist Guides, Travel Escorts, Tour Managers and other travel professionals that promote environmental awareness and smart green practices while on tour.
We are a community of professional Tour Guides, Tour Directors, Tourist Guides, Travel Escorts, Tour Managers and other travel professionals that are concerned about the environment.
The Green Guide Alliance website is a focal point of action. Though you might read articles that pertain to travel and the environment, these articles are presented as sources of information and inspiration. GGA is a forum for real change.
Tour Managers and Tour Guides are the face and voice of the package Tourism Industry. We play a very important role in supporting the quality of the Tour Operator. Furthermore, our understanding and respects for the area in which we work is seen as a reflection upon our own personal quality. As a promoter of all the environmental aspects of a geographical area, A Tour Manager or Tour Guide becomes a Green Guide. Though most clients notice our respect of nature and admire the virtue of our actions, GGA is where you gain professional recognition for your green thinking.
The Green Guide Alliance is seen as a badge of quality in the Tourism industry and has already gained the support and sponsorship of the prestigious International Association of Tour Managers. You can freely promote your GGA activities to your Tour Operators and show them that they are well represented on tour.
A good Tour Manager already understands how to inspire and we now need only a determined effort to let our voice help the world we all love so much. Each Tour Guide can inspire from 1000 to 10,000 or more passengers a year. A simple idea of telling your passengers where they can recycle their batteries while on tour can make a real noticeable impact upon our planet. Not just from the actions of our passengers while they are on tour, but by inspiring them to make these actions part of their lives. Inspire them to see the bigger picture. Since we directly interact with tens of millions of travelers a year we have tremendous possibilities for making the world a better place.
So we are your forum to connect with other Guides around the world... Tell us your ideas!
* Tell us what ideas you are promoting while on tour; what works and what doesn’t work.
* Learn how you can increase the effectiveness of your commentary in promoting the four main topics of alternative energy, carbon footprint, recycling and the preservation of nature without disquieting your client’s vacation mentality.
* Connect with other guides around the world that have initiatives of their own.
We are also the best place for networking and collaboration. Our connections reach into the very top of the Travel industry as well as Travel, governmental and NGOs. Great projects start as good ideas that are spread among people that want to make a difference. This is that place. Please sign up today, get better connected within the industry and make a real difference.
