Tourist Guide Federation of Southern India: Kerala Vocational Higher Secondary Education, India

TouristGuideTourist Guides’ Federation of South India, was founded in 2007 at Madurai. It represents all the Government of India approved Guides and their associations from Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamilnadu. There are more than 200 hundred Guides working with the visitors from all over the world. Many of our Guides are well qualified and specialized in various languages like French, German, Japanese, Spanish, Italian and etc. apart from English. We also have many lawyers, teachers, professors and various other professionals signed up as Guides. TGFSI is also affiliated to the World Federation of Tourist Guides Associations (WFTGA).

Some of the like minded senior approved guides felt that there is a need for an organization similar to the Federation to represent the guide community and bring the needs and developments to the right levels at the right time. Hence, the language guides’ forum which was meeting regularly earlier formed as the base to give birth to “Tourist Guides’ Federation of South India”.

About 40 senior Guides from all over south India met at Madurai in June 2007 and founded this organization.

The Objectives of the Federation would be:

  • To unify all the guides of southern region.
  • To address grievances and to seek redressal
  • To have more bargaining power to represent guides in the right perspective
  • To affiliate all guides with the World Body (WFTGA- www.wftga.org ) and to work in tandem with other related associations/federation
  • To create a data base of the southern guides and a website
  • To work in cooperation with India Tourism, IATO and other related bodies
  • To get proper recognition for the guides.
  • To represent guides in all the important meetings where decisions regarding Guides are taken.
  • To share knowledge and information.
  • To conduct lectures, refresher courses and educational trips.
  • To promote new destinations of south India
  • To get proper escort fees for all guides and reduce exploitation of guides.

  • Hello there, I found your website via Google while searching for a related topic, your site came up, it looks great. I have bookmarked it in my google bookmarks.

  • I’m not sure exactly why but this website is loading very slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a problem on my end? I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.

  • magnificent points altogether, you just gained a new reader. What would you recommend about your post that you made a few days ago? Any positive?

  • I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is needed to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100 certain. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Kudos

  • Good blog post. A few things i would like to bring about is that pc memory is required to be purchased when your computer cannot cope with anything you do along with it. One can install two good old ram boards with 1GB each, as an example, but not one of 1GB and one with 2GB. One should check the company’s documentation for one’s PC to ensure what type of memory is necessary.

  • Thanks for your write-up on this blog site. From my experience, there are occassions when softening upwards a photograph may possibly provide the wedding photographer with a little bit of an artistic flare. More often than not however, that soft blur isn’t exactly what you had in mind and can frequently spoil an otherwise good photo, especially if you anticipate enlarging them.
