The event will focus on international experiences in the field of tourism guidance, addressing topics such as the practice of tour guiding in Italy, the requirements of working as a tour guide in different countries, and guiding experiences at cultural heritage sites. The talk is expected to provide valuable professional insights for students studying tourism guidance and will also present important information about international career opportunities in the tourism sector.

Organized by the Department of Tourism Guidance at Istanbul Gelisim University, the event will take place on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, between 11:30 and 13:30 at K Block Fırnas Auditorium.
