Abstract: The development of the tourist guiding profession after the Pandemic will be shaped by two factors. Firstly, the communication with visitors will be much more influenced by the professional standards promoted by the World Federation of Tourist Guides (WFTGA) and worldwide standards will determine visitor expectations and satisfaction. Secondly, the emphasized possibilities of digital media and digital technologies will determine the new communication attributes after the Pandemic. Based on previous qualitative research, the paper is evaluating training issues before Summer 2020 and the expectations regarding communication features as tourist guiding will compete with the efficiency of digital media and digital tools.
