A Message from the WFTGA President
| |
|
Dear Colleague, On behalf of the World Federation of Tourist Guide Associations, I warmly welcome you to our global Convention community. The WFTGA Convention is more than a professional event – it is a celebration of cultures, connection, and shared values. We want to support the exchange between participants from the very beginning – long before the opening ceremony. That’s why we’ve created a secure digital platform, where we can start building relationships today, and keep them growing long after the Convention ends. I look forward to meeting you in Japan and to the stories, ideas, and friendships that will emerge from our time together. With warm regards, Sebastian Frankenberger
President of WFTGA

Whether you’d like to exchange tips, ask questions, or simply get to know other guides from around the world – we warmly invite you to join. Let the conversations begin!
