Tourism has never being of prime importance until our era. With our generation where everything is digitally experienced on Instagram and Tiktok, netizens are excited to travel for hours to have a feel of beautiful and natural environments.


As the journey of a new experience from these tourist sites begins, there must be considerations on accommodation, feeding and especially tour guides. Touring a new place may leave a person at the mercy of pick pockets and other ill-motive people whose work is to dupe foreign visitors. It is essential that a tourist engages the services of a tour guide for a better experience of the tour. Whiles visiting sites individually or as friends or family sounds fun and uninterrupted, having an expert show you around the place saves time and gives proper guide to the site. For example, a visit to a historical location has the assistance of tour guides to explain the history associated to an artifact or a building. A visit to a nature resort must be guided since such places poses both as adventurous and similarly dangerous.


Guided tours are not just tours being led by a native although this may be a blessing or a regret. However, they are tour trips under the management of groups or individuals with the appropriate license and requisite skills.


In Ghana, all tour groups and individual tour guides must obtain a renewable license from the Ghana Tourism Authority
Guided tours benefits are directly linked to the safety and comfort of the explorer.


With the right group, one is likely to have a wonderful and beautiful experience. Licensed tour groups conform to the standards and practices set by the Ghana Tourism Authority. That being said, the safety of the explorer is guaranteed even in the events of uncertainties. Most licensed tour groups have a bias for accepting people for tours which includes data collection and assessment of the explorer to see whether the explorer poses a threat to others who will be on the trip.


Law enforcement agencies are always informed on issues of security threat in the case of suspicion and address them accordingly.


Comfort is one thing that all people on tours trip thrive to experience, which of course can only be experienced when the tour trip is guided by a licensed group whose way of handling people is in line with the standards and practices of the authority involved. It is more likely to have comfort when the tour trip is handled by experts in the field, whose objective is to see to the customer’s satisfaction.
