Escort clients, performing meet & greet, assisting clients, regulate and manage the
timing of a group, ensure the presence and involvement of the participants, verify and
confirm facilities and services, provide and explain the travel program, make sure that
the group works in harmony, provide information on the places you intend to visit,
manage any excursions, buy tickets for tourist attractions or means of transport, manage
