Course Information
From high adrenaline play to heritage and educational sites, there is no lack of family friendly venues and activities in Singapore. Yet, there is a lack of family friendly travel itinerary that caters to this group of family travellers, despite the rise in family related travels worldwide, including Singapore.
This course provides tour guides with an understanding of what do the typical family traveller expect, how guides like yourself could design fun, engaging and educational itinerary and activities for the whole family to enjoy.
You could use these itineraries to pitch not only to overseas travellers, but to locals, expatriates living in Singapore, as well as educators, who have a keen interest in educational itineraries for their children or students. At the end of the workshop, walk away with our own resource kit that supports tourist-centric experiences for families and children.
