World Federation of Tourist Guide Associations

เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 7 มี.ค. 2019
The WFTGA’s main purpose is to promote, market and ensure that tourist guides are recognised as the ambassadors of a region. They are the first and sometimes the only representation of the population a visitor will meet. WFTGA offers services to our members but also communicates to those in search of the services of professional area specific tourist guides and where to hire them. We also actively promote our members’ associations and industry partners worldwide.
Greetings from your WFTGA Convention Hosts 2026!
Join us for the first EVER international convention of tourist guides in Japan. We look forward to the opportunity to introduce Fukuoka to the international participants and tourist guides of the WFTGA.
Become “Fukuoka ambassadors” while we showcase our local members the “global standard” of guiding. We want to help our members learn about international guide techniques and introduce you to Fukuoka as the destination for the 2026 WFTGA convention!
“Make Your Dream Come True,” and join us in beautiful Fukuoka, Japan.

Chairman Host Committee

Thanks Mr President of TGFSI representing India in this international platform..your presentation was excellent
GANYC was proud to have been a part of this event.
Thank You very much for your effort
Dear former WFTGA EXBO & so called President ; I have just informed by Turkish delegates of last convention in Sicily that 31 Turkish tour guides and 1 driver who bitterly lost their life on February 6th earthquake while they were attending tour guides training tour, were not officially commemorated. I am extremely curious about the exact reason of your action which is not only extremely heartbreaking but also irritative and equivocal .. I used to have a strong fate that anything related with tourist guides are humanly and inclusive . Politics, religious and ethical background never ever involve with the nature of our vocation which is basically art of communication . Your action was extremely terrifying. Your action was shameful. We , Turkish Tourist Guides condemn you due to your disrespectful and cruel attitude towards our deceased colleagues. I have been conducting tours over 20 years as REAL TOURIST GUIDE and you are not really representing me and my genuine colleagues at all ! Shame on you! Has WFTGA become and WTF!🤬 GA #WFTGA #WFTGAfamily #WFTGAmembers #WFTGAConvention2024 #WFTGA2024
Dear merttaner9786, Thank you for reaching out to us. Please allow me to express our deepest sympathies for the profound loss of the 31 Turkish tour guides and the driver in the tragic earthquake on February 6th. This loss is deeply felt within our community, and we stand in mourning with you. I wish to clarify that at the recent WFTGA convention in Sicily, we indeed honoured the memory of all our departed colleagues, including those from Turkey, through moments of silence held both at the delegate's meeting and the opening ceremony attended by guides from across the globe. Every guide who has passed away was remembered with the utmost respect and solemnity, ensuring that no one was forgotten in our commemorations. The tone and manner of the public comment on TH-cam, especially in questioning the integrity of our President and the actions of our association, have been noted with regret. It's disheartening to see such expressions of dissatisfaction, particularly when conveyed through a public platform and in a manner that challenges the respect and unity our federation stands for. We believe in fostering a community where open, direct, and respectful communication prevails. Had these concerns been brought to us directly via email or another private channel, it would have allowed for a constructive dialogue and an opportunity to address any misunderstandings in a manner befitting the sensitivity of the situation. It is important to reiterate that the WFTGA is committed to transcending political, religious, and ethical divides, focusing instead on the art of communication and the human elements that bind us together as tour guides. Our mission is to support and unite tour guides from all corners of the world, offering a platform for education, sharing, and remembrance. The commemoration of our colleagues is a matter of heart, done with the intent to honour their contributions and memory with dignity and respect. We deeply regret any pain or misunderstanding that may have arisen from this situation. It was never our intention to cause distress or give the impression of exclusion or disrespect. We invite you to engage in a direct and open dialogue with us, to further discuss your concerns and how we might move forward in a spirit of unity and mutual respect. Warm regards, Sebastian Frankenberger President, World Federation of Tourist Guide Associations
Wonderful convention ! Thank you !
The human touch/integration in the destination the traveller is headed to is very important. I am in #Kenya and ready to help 24/7.
Why aren't your video views increasing? And it does not reach people? because 1. Your video SEO is not correct 2. Your videos are not reaching the right people 3. Video hashtags are not used properly 4. There are many other reasons not to share videos on social media. Therefore, your videos are limited to your channel. These videos are in high demand If you do these things right I hope you have many viewers. Do not hesitate to ask me your questions. I wish I could help a wonderful person like you. feel happy I will help you in every way. I am waiting for your reply,,,,
