I found the Global Certificate in Tour Guiding (Advanced) course to be a great investment of my time and effort. As a tour guide from Egypt, I was looking to improve my knowledge of international tourism trends and standards. The course provided me with a solid understanding of the global tourism industry, including market trends, customer expectations, and sustainable tourism practices. I appreciated the diversity of case studies and examples from different regions, which helped me broaden my perspective and think critically about my own tour guiding practices. While some of the course materials could be updated to reflect the latest industry developments, overall I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to my colleagues.
