for guided tours.
The skills and knowledge needed to guide on sacred sites is thoroughly examined in this interactive
seminar. Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jewish (Ashkenazim and Sephardi), Muslim and Sikh Sites are all
considered by reference to examples. Ethical Tourism is a growing niche market and Tourist Guides are
ideally placed to be able to contribute to a greater understanding of the issues and to help visitors compare
religions. This seminar is a key step in that process.
