Where a tourist guide can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a tourist guide already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Tourist guides assist individuals or groups during travel or sightseeing tours or at places of touristic interest, such as museums, art facilities, monuments and public places. They help people to interpret the cultural and natural heritage of an object, place or area and provide information and guidance in the language of their choice.

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a tourist guide already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
