Tallinn Guide Association is glad to welcome the members of the WFTGA to hold the World Federation of Tourist Guide Associations Convention in 2011 in Tallinn!
Tallinn, the
capital of Estonia, is located in Eastern Europe on the shores of the Baltic
Sea. As a Hanseatic Town with a history dating back to 1154 Tallinn has been a
meeting point for East and West for centuries.
Closeness to
all major European capitals and good infrastructure make t a convenient venue for any international event.
Tallinn Guide
Association is a union of 156 tour guides in Tallinn and has been a proud
member of WFTGA since 2007.
For the 2011
Convention we have suggested a comprehensive programme both for the
participants in the Convention and for those accompanying them under the Theme Culture as a Unifying Guide.
In 2011 Tallinn will be the European Capital of Culture, and naturally
this became the underlying idea for our whole programme.
Our intention in
drafting the programme has been to meet the expectations of members who want to
learn and experience something new to enhance their professional skills, and
also to provide a good experiential background to the training and discussions
during the workshops organised together with the WFTGA.
Tours and
excursions taking place during the Convention week as well as pre- and post
tours enable you to take a walk through the history experiencing the Medieval
times as well as the modern culture on the crossroads of Europe.
We would be honoured to host the WFTGA
Convention 2011 and warmly welcome you to Tallinn!
Come and be ESTonished!
