Why is it necessary to have a private guide on a shopping tour?
Shopping tours take the special place among all the services, offered in the tourist industry. But the question is – why do we need a private guide while shopping in the foreign country?
As a rule, group shopping tours go by the following program: a group of 10-30 people gather together and follow the route, which is made up in advance, consists of the same few standard shops and moreover is limited in time. Such kind of tours is acceptable for some businessmen that are purchasing goods in the outlets and are planning these trips only for the business sake. Nevertheless, the ones that are really longing to refresh their closets or just really enjoy the shopping process are not please with such kind of group tours and usually are the ones that are looking for services of a private guide.
In order to be able to hold a shopping tour, a private guide should know where it is possible to find some modern shops with not so expensive clothes of a good quality, to always be ready to suggest the foreign traveler lots of different variants. He should know the difference between factory outlets and malls, and be aware of what kind of trends is acceptable for the every certain age group and so on. All these things are necessary to know on a shopping tour in order to support client on a tour, share your opinion right and always be ready to give him a piece of advice. And, of course, it’s very important to always stay patient, as the shopping tour may take as much time as your clients need and you may visit as much places as they will need.
