Who are we?
We are the only active tour guide association on the island with 81 active members. We organized this union back in 1998 as a way to promote a space for sharing experiences and help our associates to professionalize their work. Also, our objective is to provide business opportunities for the members of our association since most of our associates work freelance without stable income.
What are we doing now?
New Project: TOURS VIA ZOOM
The pandemic has affected our members greatly being tourism the only industry on the island.
Since march the island entered a lockdown therefore not receiving commercial flights and it seems that because the very basic facilities in our hospital the idea of the authorities is not to put at risk the population until the peak of the pandemic has passed.
Taking this into consideration and as a way to provide economic support for our members, our association is organizing tours via zoom. We are helping our associates developing this new product, providing clients, internet connection, a place of work to present the tour, and graphic material to make the tours more interactive and appealing.
We are reaching potential clients to pitch our idea and as we get their feedback we hope to improve and adapt this product to their needs.
