Welcome!
The National Federation of Tourist
Guide Associations-USA was formed in 1998 when members from tour guide
associations and guilds from across the United States gathered in its first-ever
national forum to discuss issues pertinent to the tourism and travel industry as
related to guiding.
The seed idea of the initial meeting
was for guide peers to share the knowledge and experience garnered from working in
diverse areas across the U.S., so guides may better understand trends and
challenges in local and national tourism.
The on-going focus and commitment of
the NFTGA-USA is to promote effective training and continuing education, while
upholding a strict code of ethics and demonstrating the highest degree of
professionalism. It is essential
that guides welcome visitors and act in such a way as to bring credit to the
U.S. and their local area while promoting their country, region and city as
desirable tourist destinations.
Tourist guides are
the frontline tourism professionals, who act as good-will ambassadors to throngs
of domestic and international visitors who visit our cities and our nation.
Formation of the NFTGA-USA was just the first step towards the promotion
of the visibility and importance of using professional, trained guides.
