EDUCATION AND
TRAINING
REQUIREMENTS
Summer camp counseling is a valuable way to
get early experience in this field. Some colleges
have started to offer degrees in tourism;
however, most tour escorts learn their skills on
the job. Many larger tour companies have
intensive training programs in which escorts
learn how to deal with potential problems.
Trainees work alongside more experienced
escorts until they are familiar with both
company procedure and destination.

WORKING
CONDITIONS
The work of a tour escort is extremely
demanding. It may involve fifteen to twenty-
five consecutive weeks of work without a
day off, and it requires lifting heavy luggage
and making arrangements to keep even the
most persnickety traveler in the group
happy. Tour escorts apparently enjoy their
jobs in spite of these factors, as there is a
fairly low job turnover among workers in
this occupation.
