  7. Tour Guides The success of travel agencies in the field of tourism lies in the tour guide. In fact, tour guides are part of the tourist product. They often contribute to the tourists’ likes or dislikes of the package tour. So it is important to understand what tour guides do and what roles they play in the package tour. A tour guide refers to a person who is officially accredited by the tourism authority and assigned by a travel agency, and who offers guiding, interpretation and other relevant tourist services for tourists. Western tour guides have a variety of terms like local guides, city guides, and step-on guides in the industry. Outside the industry, tour guides are used to describe those who guide people. They include tour managers, docents, and interpreters. In China, tour guides also refer to all those who guide and manage the tour group. But the names for tour guides vary a bit from those in Western countries. There is national guide, local guide, interpreter/ spot guide, and tour manager/ tour escort. Part II Tourism and Travel

  11. Mount Tai Mount Tai, with its main peak rising 1,545 meters above sea level, is located in central Shandong Province. It has been a mountain held in high esteem by Chinese people since ancient times. It is known as the “First of the Five Sacred Mountains”. However, it ranks the third among the five mountains in terms of height. Its reputation comes mostly from its cultural position. According to historical records, Mount Tai became a sacred place to offer sacrifices in the Zhou Dynasty. A total of 72 emperors were recorded to have visited it. Men of letters also came to acquire inspiration, compose poems, write essays, and paint. Hence, a great many cultural relics were left on the mountain. Part III Introduction of Scenic Spots

  12. Daimiao Templeand Bixia Temple are among the mountain’s major sites of historical interest, while the Yuhuang peak and the Riguan peak are primary scenic spots. Taishan Temple at the foot of the mountain is one of the several major palace complexes in China. From Taishan Temple to the top of the mountain there are numerous stone tablets, inscriptions and ancient buildings along the way. A visit to Mount Tai not only brings one in touch with its peaks and stones of imaginary images, big old trees with rich cultural implications, and its awesome topographical wonders, but also provides the opportunity to marvel at stone tablets inscribed with poems composed by emperors and poets. Visitors get much pleasure from climbing Mount Tai. Some 7,000 stone steps from the Red Gate at the foot of the mountain to the South Heaven Gate at the top wind their way up the mountain slope, each step offering a different view. It is definitely a fascinating experience to watch the sunrise at the top of the mountain. With its long history, scientific value and natural beauty, Mount Tai has been listed as a World Natural and Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO.

  15. 旅游行程安排 当游客提出要修改既定行程或要求增加游览项目时，地陪应先通知旅行社，尽量满足游客的合理要求。如果新增加的游览项目需要额外的费用，地陪应先提前告知领队和游客。如果客人同意自理所需额外费用，地陪可代旅行社收齐费用，并带领游客进行游览活动。如果客人不同意自理所需额外费用，则不能满足其要求。这时地陪应向游客做好解释工作。 如果团内个别游客对行程安排有特殊要求，应视具体情况而定。在这种情况下，地陪应与领队和旅行社一起协同安排，做到有事情多请示。 当领队的行程表跟地陪的行程表有差异时，地陪应及时告知旅行社并找出原因。如果是由于旅行社计调部门的疏忽而出错，地陪应将实情告诉游客并道歉。 Part V Tips for Tour Guides
