We are pleased to share with you a current WFTGA Statement addressing a key issue in the political and/or tourism landscape.

This document has been prepared to offer guidance, perspective, and practical recommendations for tourist guides – and we encourage you to make use of it in a way that best supports your work on the ground.

You are most welcome to:

• Circulate the statement to your members as a professional reference or operational guideline,
• Adapt or reword it as your own association’s statement,
• Use it for lobbying or advocacy purposes with local stakeholders, institutions, or press.

If you do so, we kindly invite you to mention WFTGA where appropriate – but above all, we hope the content proves useful and effective for your communication and positioning efforts.

Should you publish a local version or receive media coverage as a result, we would be delighted to feature your work on our website. Please feel free to send us a link, report or press article – we will gladly highlight your contribution, with your name and organisation credited.

P.S. We are always looking for new statement topics. If you have an idea – or would like to draft a short statement yourself – please get in touch. We would love to include member voices and expertise in future releases.

P.P.S. This initiative is part of a broader effort to strengthen our profession’s global voice. As we prepare to update the WFTGA website this autumn, we are actively gathering content and feedback to better reflect the needs of our members, partners, and stakeholders. Your input and activities help shape the future of our shared platform.
