Tourist Guides Group Personal Accident Insurance Scheme

A serious accident can undermine your ability to earn an income and leave you with major expenses. Personal Accident Insurance is a way to ensure your continued financial security if you are disabled by an accident.

Tourist Guides are not covered under the vehicle or tour operator passenger liability insurance policies as they are deemed to be an employee of the Tour Operator. Therefore it is necessary to develop a scheme to render coverage to the tourist guide in case of accidental injury or death.

Tourist Guide Monitor project

Wed, 25/01/2012 - 17:14 — GP0035

A team of the Gauteng Guides Association Monitors converged on Soweto yesterday 24 Jan 2012 to do some checking for illegal tourist guides .This is a major problem for our tourist guide industry as many illegal guides are working as tourist guides without knowing about the registration process . On the other hand there are definitely some working as guides with the full knowledge that they are doing it illegally and then just having a no care attitude.
Many of the tour operators are knowingly employing unregistered guides as they can pay less and save some money

Prize winning writing – Once in a lifetime opportunity

As a multilingual national tourist guide, I frequently pass through airport lounges and hotel lobbies where I sometimes browse through the finest magazines.
In November 2011, I received a complimentary copy of “Prestige Magazine / Best of the best” before my flight to Cape Town. In this issue was competition whereby one could win an inspired morning with Dr John Demartini and Prestige Magazine onboard ‘The World’ ship.

Overland Disaster!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mon, 16/01/2012 - 11:48 — GP1040

I'm not one to often write anything never mind complaining. And I'm not a whiner either! But there are limits to everything. And I know we make our own choices in life. So, yes, I chose and offered to to this overland.

I met the pax as per usual at OR Tambo. Did the usual Pretoria City Tour and then slept over in Protea Hotel Witbank. Not too bad.
We spent Old year's eve at Pilgrimsrest Hotel. It was pouring with rain and in spite of the weather, the staff went out of their way to make it a brilliant evening. Just had to get up at 6 am to do a Panorama Route and then on to Satara.
