Being a tourist guide is one of the good career option as it offers good career prospects and excellent growth opportunities. The tourism department conducts training for tour guides and upon course completion, the guide is certified and given a license. Tourist guide licenses are issued both at the state and central government level by the respective tourism departments after taking a test. Eligibility criteria: 1. Fluency in English language is a must for those joining guide training course. 2. Graduates in any discipline from a recognized university or three year degree holders in tourism/ hospitality from a recognized university/ institute or Diploma in archaeology. 3. Preference would be given to candidates having knowledge and fluency in a non-English foreign language. 4. The minimum age for joining the course is 20 years.
