Hotel guide – Is it worth going to a meeting with him?
To begin with, let’s see who the hotel guide is and what is it for? The hotel guide is primarily a representative of a tour operator. Since he is a representative of the tour operator, then it should solve the problems that arose through the fault of the tour operator. He will be informing his tourists about the time of the return flight , assistance with checking in a room that does not correspond to the type of booked room, etc.
Don’t Pay Triple Commissions
Hotel guides earn commissions by selling excursions to their guests. It would seem, so what’s wrong with that? Well nothing is wrong the only problem is they will try to charge double of our price. As holiday company wants (1) commission from your tour ticket, so the local travel agent that your hotel guide is working for also wants (2) commission on your ticket and at the end your hotel guide himself wants his (3) commission from your tour ticket. So simply you will pay 3 times commission to go on a tour with your family.
