Bautzen invites: Saxon tour guide celebrates its premiere in November!

Bautzen, a city that is known for her hospitality, will become the setting for the Saxon tour guide on November 3 and 4, 2024. The venue is the Haus der Sorben, where tour guides from all over Saxony meet to exchange, network and share their experiences. This event brings together experts who play a central role in tourism: they are often the first faces that travelers get to know from a city and contribute significantly to the tourist attraction.

The Saxon tour guide day is a platform on which current topics related to the role of the tour guides. Whether in the main job or as a volunteer, the tour guides are in constant contact with visitors and thus not only represent the city, but also its culture and history. The participants can look forward to interesting impulse lectures and panel discussions that deal with the challenges and developments in this professional field.

insights into the conference program

The program on November 4 offers a densely packed schedule that begins with the registration at 9:00 a.m. The opening includes greetings from Karsten Vogt, the mayor of Bautzen, and Vivien Lenz, the reigning mustard queen. This opening event is an excellent opportunity to immerse yourself in the topic and to find out about the relevance of the tour guides in Saxony.

An important topic of the day will be digital accounting, which is increasingly important in the industry. For this there will be a panel discussion with Beate Krause, a prominent representative of the Federal Association of German Guide (BVGD). The visibility of the tour guides in public is also discussed, which shows that their work goes beyond leading groups and promotes strong bonds to the community.

The focus is also on the challenges, the handling and conveying of content to Generation Z. A special event is talking about how to effectively work with children and adolescents, which is a significant qualification for many tour guides.

The exquisite location of Bautzens in the heart of Upper Lusatia makes the city a popular destination for tourists. According to the latest statistics, Bautzen counted over 24,300 guest arrivals in the second quarter of 2024, which underlines the importance of committed tour guides. With an average of 2.2 nights per guest, it becomes clear that the city has a variety of offers to offer. Of course, this also includes the exciting programs designed by the local city guides.
