Hi everyone, my name is Averil (founder and guide at Prague Feminist Tours). I'm new to the world of tourism and I need your help. I'm looking for advice, especially from fellow self-employed guides, on what are good practices to find clients. For now, I've mostly managed to find local customers (living in Prague), but not exactly tourists. Except from a good use of social media and network, what is important to do? Leave brochures in key places? Submit your tours on online platforms for a fee? Send out emails? Thanks a lot in advance for your wisdom! 😊

Hi, I'm Averil Huck (new to this platform!) 👋 I'm a feminist tour guide in Prague, Czech Republic. I was wondering whether there were any other fellow guides focusing on feminist/queer history or other ethical topics. Should we start a new Topic specifically on these topics?

👉 Starting this thread for members to introduce themselves, share talks, sessions, and other events happening around ITB Berlin (www.itb.com) during 5-7 March 2024. If you post/promote yourself here, we kindly ask that you share this discussion thread with your social network (e.g. LinkedIn, Facebook, etc) in return to help spread the world. Let's make this the biggest list!

We've had a lot of new members join in recent months, so we're starting this thread to introduce ourselves! 🌍 Where in the world are you located? 💻 What do you do for a living? 🌴 What kind of travel do you want to learn more about?

I see that a lot of bloggers, in their bios, write things like "My goal is to inspire people to travel." It makes me wonder: is that really what we should do? Do we really want more people to travel, given all of the climate and sustainability consequences that can arise from travel? Or should we be encouraging people to travel better rather than more? And if so, how?

I'm curious where everyone in our community are planning to visit next year. Especially off-the-beaten path, or new destinations (for you). Also, what inspired you? 👉 Share your 2024 travel plans in the comments!
