Tour escorts accompany groups of people on organized package tours, arranging transportation, accommodations, and sightseeing to provide security and convenience for travelers.

Escorts must have strong communication skills, empathy, a charismatic personality, and the ability to improvise. The work is demanding, sometimes involving 15-25 consecutive weeks without breaks while lifting luggage and keeping travelers happy. Escorts typically earn $9.27-$150 per day depending on tour scope and group size, and may receive tips and free travel.

Characteristics of Indian outbound travel.pdfPankaj Chandel
Characteristics of Indian outbound travel, health and visa
formalities to be followed by Indians to visit some
important outbound countries.
Travelling is an exciting and soul-stirring experience that takes us out of our comfort zone and ushers in
us a new perspective of the world. However, packing, planning and preparing for it is a reality check on
our laziness. So, haul yourself up, listen close and listen carefully. Before you can start dreaming about
sandy beaches and Rocky Mountains, check if you have these essential travel documents in hand.
1. Passport: For international travel, you will need a passport. If you are not a passport holder, apply
for one in advance so that your application will be processed and ready in time. If you already have a
passport, make sure that it does not expire within the next 6 months or until you get back. Always carry
a copy of the passport separately. Keep a copy of the passport at home and also with your travel partner.
Carry around a soft copy of the passport as well. The copies will help to get a replacement faster and
easier just in case the original is lost.
2. Visa: Visa is a small stamp that provides conditional permission for entering a country for a specific
period of time. There are countries that grant visa-on-arrival. So, check if the country you are planning
to visit has visa-on-entry for your passport. If not, apply for a tourist visa for that country. Visa application
needs some time to get processed so it is better to apply for it at the earliest.
3. Forex card/ Foreign currency: One of the most important things to keep in hand when travelling
abroad is forex (foreign exchange). It is always better to carry the local currency of a country you are
going to rather than using your credit/debit card abroad. This way you can avoid the currency conversion
fees abroad. You can exchange your money for foreign currency at extravelmoney.com. If you’d rather
not carry money around, you can also buy a Forex Travel Card. Forex Cards are the best and most
convenient way of carrying foreign currency. It can be loaded with foreign currency and again re-loaded
later if the need arises. Extravelmoney.com facilitates the buying and selling of forex.
4. Travel Insurance: Travel insurance is meant to cover medical emergencies, trip cancellation, lost
luggage and any other emergencies that may occur during a trip.
It is not mandatory to take a travel insurance but it will be good to do so because while travelling abroad
medical expenses might turn out to be very expensive and the insurance can take care of that. Hence a
“worry less” travel experience.
5. Air ticket: Booking flight tickets are something that you need to think about early. If you are travelling
to a well-known tourist spot and it is peak time, chances are that flight ticket rates would be very high.
Booking in advance will help to get the tickets at a cheaper rate. Carry a copy of your confirmed air ticket
while you travel j

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
