Introduction
The Association of Professional Tourist
Guides (APTG) is the professional body of London's Blue Badge
guides, many of whom are registered with other tourist boards in
the UK.
APTG is an autonomous group within Unite
and is committed to promoting the highest possible standards in
tourism in general and guiding in particular. Each year the APTG
publishes a set of minimum fees which members are required to adher
to, they hold monthly meetings at which members debate and vote on
policy issues and they publish a monthly magazine - Guidelines - in
which members are invited to share their knowledge, experiences and
opinions. The guide also includes a diary of opening times, special
events, exhibitions and closures at key tourist sites.
The APTG campaigns on safety issues, runs a
training and development programme for members and plays an active
role in the Federation of European Guides. The section also
provides public liability insurance for members as part of the
membership package.
