Your Career in Tourism Starts Here – Info Seminar This October!

Are you curious about becoming a city tour guide or a long-distance tour director? Wondering how to get your foot in the door of the tourism industry? Join us this October 2025 for a low-cost information seminar presented by a seasoned member of the Canadian Tour Guide Association of BC (CTGA of BC).
