为什么请导游

前天遇见Kai，中年，德国人，谈起他的上海导游Flora，很是称赞，说英语流利，对上海又十分了解。使他的第一次中国行非常愉快。以前也到处出差和旅行，却从没请过一个导游，未料这次收获颇丰。

我们为什么花钱请导游？WFTGA(World Federation of Tourist Guide Associations) 的 Checklist for Professional Tourist Guides总结的挺好。

TO LEARN 为了获得更多知识
TO BE INTRODUCED 对第一次到的地方能有所认识
TO BE TIME EFFICIENT 在短暂的停留时间里获益更多
TO BENEFIT FROM EXPERTISE 专业，还是专业
TO ENJOY BEING TAKEN CARE OF 省心省力
TO AVOID BEING LOST 不会在陌生的地方迷路
TO MEET OTHER PEOPLE 与生活在当地的人交流
TO DO WHAT OTHERS DO 体验当地人怎么生活
BECAUSE GUIDED TOURS ARE INCLUDED IN THE PACKAGE 度假产品或会议活动中包含导游服务

还有什么别的理由么？在什么情况下，你会想请个当地导游陪同？

Our Explorer - Get Your Hands On Some Local Wisdom

January 13 2009, 7:52am, Kim Heras

OurExplorer is a new-ish travel site, based in Australia, that aims to make it easier for people to connect with local tour guides when traveling. It’s a different approach to the many other sites that aggregate user-generated content to provide traveler’s tips, but if you’ve ever been hounded by people claiming to be tour guides while traveling abroad then you’ll understand why a site that makes finding trusted local tour guides easy is so valuable.

I managed to catch up with founder David Cunningham to have a chat about how the site’s been going since it launched 6 months ago and what his future plans are. Enjoy.
