#WORLDSTANDARDSDAY
World or International Standards Day is celebrated internationally each year on 14 October. The day honours the efforts of thousands of experts – among them many tourist guides and WFTGA members – who develop voluntary standards within standards development organisations such as the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) and the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN).
WFTGA celebrates two standards, which define the profession of tourist guides and underpin professional training programmes for tourist guides. Additionally, a new standard published in May 2021 is guiding tourism key players through the time of the pandemic.
