WFTGA and FEG marketing campaign

We have  launched  new  marketing initiative with the Federation of European Tourist Guides Associations (FEG). This campaign is for you to use to help combat illegal or unqualified guiding – please contact us with ideas of how you would like to use the slogans above – merchandise, posters or simply telling your visitors what we stand for. It will appear on our websites but we also want to get it out to “the man or woman in the street”. We are forming a marketing committee. If you are interested in joining this committee please contact the President on info@wftga.org
