...WALK TOUR REACTION PAPER Last, Monday, September 21, 2015, we had our "Food" walk tour in Binondo with Mr. Ivan Dy. The tour was very tiring and at the same time stomach filling. It was tiring because the weather was so hot and we just walked to go to our destination. It was stomach filling because we went to 5 destinations and just ate chinese foods the entire tour. The foods were delicious. Mr. Ivan is a fun and entertaining tour guide. Even though he had mic, we werent able to understand some of what he’s saying. He wasn’t able to catch all the attention of the students. Last Sunday, September 27, 2015, we had our Intramuros tour with Mr. Carlos Celdran. The tour last for about 3 hours. It was called a walk tour but there really is not much walking. We went to 4 destinations and sit down to listen to him. The tour was tiring and at the same time interesting. It was tiring because the weather was kind of hot and there are many of us and it was interesting because Mr. Carlos Celdran made the tour very entertaining with his props, the changed of hats and the throwing of santan from his pocket. From the way he delivers, it looks like we were just watching a play. Every time he says the line “Walk This Way!” it excites everyone and follows him and you can see a smile on everyone’s faces. It was one of the reasons why the tour was exciting. He even gave all of us a chocolate, to be specific choc nut, for answering his question. I noticed that almost all the people who belong to...

...TOUR2002 Visitor Management Individual Assignment (25%) Name: Agatha Tanubrata Student ID: 3151978 Lecturer: Kevin Phun 1.0 Introduction Tourism is a competitive and dynamic industry that entails the ability to continuously adjust to customers' varying needs and desires, as the customer’s enjoyment, safety and satisfaction are mainly the focus of tourism industries (Normandin, 2013). This report will focus on visiting and experiencing an organized tourism program of the Peranakan Museum as a participant and be able to create critical consciousness as well as to use chosen concepts and theories to evaluate the helpfulness of the tour guide after the visit. The Peranakan Museum installed in the previous Tao Nan Chinese School (constructed in 1912) sightsees the culture of Peranakan societies in Southeast Asia. The best and most inclusive assortments of Peranakan objects are owned by the museum. Peranakans’ distinctive visual arts and cultural traditions are shown on the three floor galleries of the museum (Peranakan Museum, 2011). Whilst signifying the living culture of the Peranakan community in Singapore, the Peranakan Museum gives a stimulating and educational experience for all. The museum is a constituent of the Asian Civilisations Museum that runs under the National Heritage Board (Peranakan Museum, 2011). Throughout experiencing the tourism program, the activity’s description and rationale; analytical awareness of the association...

...on a journey through time. Upon arrival we were instructed to walk up a spiraling white staircase, the walls lined with black and white portraits of holocaust survivors, leading all the way up to the Anne Frank exhibit. We were prompted with a brief introductory film on the Frank family then directed downstairs into a dimly lit hallway. Immediately, I am drawn to the walls that’re constructed with clothing. As you go further into the exhibit, going deeper into Anne’s story, the clothes gradually become dull and drab, then shifting into prisoner uniforms, and ultimately ending with all black clothing. The clothing served as a representation of the drastic changes that occurred in response to the war. The exhibit is a voice and light guided tour, with the voice reading excerpts from Anne’s diary accompanying the several photographs, artifacts, and information posted along the walls. The voice leads us through a door (which was an exact replica of the bookcase that enclosed the Annex) into a small theatre which showed a film that captured Anne’s uniquely positive view on the world within her confined circumstances. After the Anne Frank exhibit we stumbled upon one of the newest exhibits which featured the diverse lives of Maya Angelou, Billy Crystal, and Carlos Santana. Returning back to the first floor, we then walked through an exhibit called Our World Today. The area is filled with screens showing various different news reports, ultimately leading to 2 doorways, one labeled “prejudiced”...

...5-minute walk from the university. This was a guided tour of the Brewery, which provided an insight into the history of the company as well as a detailed description as to how the Lager was made. It was clear that the service attracted a middle age tourist clientele due to the high volume of foreign consumers on the tour we partook in. The experience intended to provide customers with an understanding of the full brewing-to- bottling process of Scotland’s “favorite beer”, and the evolution of Tennents over the company’s timeline. On arrival, staff were friendly, well dressed and approachable, which contributed to a relaxed environment. The setting of the meeting room was busy and kept the consumer’s mind occupied whilst they waited for the tour to begin. This helped detract from the issue of the tour starting later than the proposed time. With a contemporary design, the room was appealing to the consumer aesthetically and helped build a positive insight as to the quality which could be expected from the tour. A successful blueprint of the service was clear as both customer A and B knew what part they played during the encounter. Such factors included marking yellow pathways on the roads between buildings for the customer to stay within for their safety as well as providing hair nets and high vis vests for health and safety. A leader follower relationship was adopted in this tour, meaning that the consumer relied on the guide largely for the encounter to be a success. In the...

...I’ve naturally done some research into your organisation so as to ensure that I fully understand what kind of organisation I would be working for. I read on your website that your sales levels have grown at an average of 25% year on year for the past five years and that you are now working on your expansion into the United States.

...researchers obtained the information about Tour Guiding in Cavite: Prospects and Challenges. Upon examining the profile of the participants, the researchers found out that majority of the respondents were 20-29 years old since the percentage of them is 57.14.

... fashion, environmental and political risks, etc..). In this situation the special role plays information. It allows for the fashion direction to formulate a kind of social policy. In the case of tourism, it is an essential element of economic development. Tourism is in fact one of the few sectors of the economy in which business operators for profit formed only infrastructure needed for customers to enjoy the benefits of "property" in common: the landscape and cultural heritage material. At the turn of 21 century has become a very popular stag tourism to the Central and East Europe. The antenuptial stag tour made by groups of British young and adult men who travel to the Central and Eastern European cities for a relatively short time, and become synonymous with drunkenness and extreme behaviour.

According to research recently conducted by the accounting firm KPMG in 2014 the Czech economy was infused with approximately 293 billion Czech korunas (approximately USD 15.5 billion). Of this, about 97.5 billion korunas went to the state's purse, accounting for approximately 6.9% of state revenue. The majority of state revenue comes from value added taxes (VAT) and accounts for about 38% of state income. 2010 witnessed an increase of tourism of 4%, with yearly state income increasing as well.

...Art Museum”, or the “Anytown Museum of Natural History”. While these types of museums house some incredible artifacts, and I do visit them often, I also like to seek out museums of a more unusual sort. Museums are mostly the same just about everywhere you go, both in the United States and Europe. They offer the visitor a glimpse into the past culture of any given city or country by displaying relics found throughout the world. But there are also many museums that showcase artifacts of the culture in a much more specific way. Some fine examples of these kinds of museums include the Pez Museum, close to San Francisco, dedicated to the little candy dispenser, the Muzeum hracek in Prague, dedicated to toys of the world, both past and present, the Dungeon, a history of Medieval torture, also in Prague, and the Liberace Museum in Las Vegas, dedicated to all things Liberace--and I mean all things. The Pez Museum is not actually in San Francisco, but is located south of the city in a town called Burlingame. If you are in the Bay Area for any reason, do not miss this museum! Remember when you were a little kid, and you loved to collect Pez dispensers? Well, times have changed, and now Pez collections mean big money, and big business. The most expensive Pez dispenser to date is the short lived Mr. Potato Head dispenser, complete with a make-it-yourself face. This Pezsells for $5,000 at auction! This museum contains literally hundreds of Pez Dispensers, collected since their inception...
