Lucknow : For tourist guides in Uttar Pradesh, it’s time to get a crash course in foreign languages and history besides learning some etiquettes.
In a bid to improve brand Uttar Pradesh and assist foreign tourists visiting the state, the government has decided to launch a special short term training programme for tourist guides.
“We are in the process of launching a special training course for the tour guides in the state for which applications have been invited,” Director General Tourism, Avneesh Awasthi told PTI.
“There is an acute shortage of trained guides in the state. Those involved in the profession at present are neither trained nor they have any idea as to how to interact with the foreign tourists,” official sources said.
