Tour Manager

The tour manager is the professional that welcomes and accompanies individuals or groups of people during the trip, providing assistance mainly in carrying out bureaucratic, administrative and logistical practices, such as hospitality.

The tour manager performs a coordinating and supporting role in the implementation of the travel plan, providing general information about the trip and the places, outside the scope of the tour guide’s competence.
