LAND TOUR JOBS FOR NORTH AMERICANSAs a tour guide or escort, you could find yourself working in any number of places around the world. Tours are typically offered in areas
of the world depending upon the season. Therefore, there are both year-round and seasonal guide job opportunities. One of the benefits of working for a larger company is that you will have more opportunities to work in different parts of the world on a
year-round basis. For instance, in a large tour company you could lead tours through America's national parks during the summer, then lead tours through New England in the fall, and finish the year on the tropical islands of Hawaii. The possibilities are numerous.For those hoping to work outside the continental United States, the best opportunities exist in Alaska, Hawaii, or Canada. Other options include working in Europe, Africa, East Asia, or the South Pacific.
These jobs are best obtained through companies that cater to residents of North America. You will notice that there are numerous American companies that have tours that go all over the world and that these companies will hire predominantly North American residents to take their North American clientele abroad. (A foreign company that operates tours in its own country most often hires residents of that country.) If you are determined to work in a foreign
country for a foreign company, you should first contact that country's consulate or embassy and inquire about how one can obtain a work visa. In general, this type of job is going to be more difficult to obtain. Types of Tour Jobs >>> |
