4．Hands Active
The Guide has to learn to keep his or her hands active in order to do things
quickly, efficiently and satisfactorily. The Guide has to remember that
the pen is mightier than the sword and a short pen is better than a long
memory. When instructed by leaders, the Guide has go keep record of the
important points in his or her memo; when doing interpreting, the Guide
has to write down those important information and figures before he of
she would forget; when a foreign tourist asks the Guide to do something,
the latter has to jot down in his or her notebook immediately; when climbing
the Great Wall, the Guide had better help the older people up the Wall
with has or her hands if necessary. So the energetic Guide should learn
how to use his or her hands diligently.
5．Mouth Explaining
Apart from doing interpreting, a Guide has countless things to be explained
with his or her mouth. The Guide must be able to explain any routine and
trifling things patiently. Foreign visitors are usually against the Guide
who sits beside the bus-driver, resting idle, chatting with the driver
occasionally but explaining nothing to tourists. A qualified Guide must
try his or her best to explain all the interesting and important places
and buildings in sight on the way to the destination.
Ⅴ Six Important Characteristics
An outstanding Guide is characterized by the possession of the following
six characteristics, which cover every aspect of the tour Guide requirements
for a top Guide.
1．A High Sense of Ideological Responsibility
This is actually a prerequisite for a competent Guide. Without a sense
of responsibility, a Guide can achieve nothing. If the Guide doesn't know
how to be responsible, he had better quit the job or he or she would be
fired by the Travel Agency. With a high sense of ideological responsibility,
the Guide would take his or her job not as a chance to do sightseeing with
foreign visitors but as an opportunity to perform people-to-people diplomatic
affairs, accompanying them to visit historical and cultural sites of China
and to enjoy beautiful scenery of many places, and at the same time publicizing
our Party's policies and helping to strengthen the friendship between China
and other English-speaking foreign countries.
2．Conscientious and Detailed Style of Work
A conscientious and detailed working style is imperative to a qualified
Guide. In foreign affairs, there is nothing trivial. Every detail in the
management of tourism and the procedures during the trip have something
to do with the service of foreign tourists, therefore, the Guide has to
take everything seriously and conscientiously in order to serve foreign
tourists well. The Guide must be very careful about all the details and
be on guard against making important decisions on his or her own. The Guide
has to seek the advice and help from his or her superiors in matters of
importance. Then the Guide has to deal with each individual detail with
care and sees to it that everything is done properly. This careful and
detailed style of work will surely guarantee the top quality of service
for foreign tourists and will be appreciated both by the tourists and the
leadership.
3．Unselfish Attitude Towards Work
Accompanying foreign tourists is an enjoyable but tiring work. The Guide
must have a devoted and unselfish attitude towards work, because, by accompanying
a tour group of about thirty people, the Guide has to take care of their
life, meals and travel. All the details and procedures keep the Guide can
not go to sleep until midnight during the trip. The Guide must cultivate
himself or herself to be devoted to the work and determined to serve foreign
tourists heart and soul so as to earn foreign currency for our economic
construction.
