The summer is coming, the market for study and tourism is again booming. Higher education, the new orient brigade, etc. Are now studying, and the research product of the red lecturer zhang xue feng, $899, has given rise to debate. Data show that the size of the chinese research and study market reached 14,6. 9 billion yuan in 2023, an increase of 61. 6 per cent over the previous year. The market size is expected to reach $242. 2 billion by 2026. The expansion of the research and study market has also led to an increase in the heat of the relevant occupations. In recent years, the new profession of “tourist guidance” has attracted more attention among young people。

What is a study tour guide? In 2022, the ministry of social welfare published the general classification of occupations (2022 edition) of the people's republic of china for the new occupation, which is officially defined as the person who plans, develops, implements a study travel programme and organizes and directs research experience activities. In may this year, the ministry of human welfare's proclamation on the publicity of information on careers to be published, including biological engineering technicians, proposed the change of the occupational name of the “research travel guide” to “research tour guide”。
At the age of 23, liu after 00, joined the group of “tourists for research” last year and is currently working at the patagonal cat (beijing) international educational technology ltd. As a research tour guide, liu xiangen's daily work covers a wide range of areas, such as curriculum development support, course implementation, post-summation and feedback, and documentation and continuous learning. For him, course design and implementation were more challenging, and he gave global times journalists an example of the need to go inside the nest and develop the curriculum from a variety of perspectives, such as technology, traditional culture, art, etc., when designing a bird's nest study project. Under the theme of technology, do birds' nests have lightning rods, or do they have double umbrellas? What is the difference between the traditional cultural theme, the ancient “polo-playing” and “smuggles” of the bird's nest-water silver hall? These issues require mentors to have an interdisciplinary knowledge base, design targeted content and activities, and design curricula to sharpen the ground。
Yip yan ting, aged 27, from guangdong, joined a research firm early this year to start studying tourism guidance. Until then, yip ying ting has been working in kindergarten. “the experience of previous work has been of great assistance to the work of my current research tour guide.” yip yan-ting told the globe times reporter that her current research team was also mostly young children, who needed some patience and a child's heart, as they were in danger of bumping into each other in their activities, and therefore, in addition to professional research tour guides, she had taken the red cross ambulance certificate。
Before becoming a professional “study tour guide”, a number of people had had educational work experience or obtained documentation. For example, the above-mentioned liu seong-jin had been certified as a senior high school teacher prior to graduation, and yip ying-ting had nine years of experience with young children. So what are the requirements of this new profession for "entrants"? In an interview with the global times journalist, mr. Wei xinde, president of the research and travel branch of the chinese tourism association, said that in a new occupation issued by the ministry of human resources and social security, research tour guides were clearly defined as falling within the category of “education services” and therefore required a pool of educational, psychological and other types of knowledge to guide, advise and guide different audiences. At the same time, research tour guides needed basic skills in food, shelter and mobility; in addition, research tour guides needed basic first aid knowledge. On the basis of the above, it can be seen that the educational requirements of the study tour guides are not high and that the university degree of vocational colleges and universities is basically one line of study。
Although it has not been a long time to become a “study tour guide”, both liu shuen and yip yan ting look forward to their profession and believe that it will become more professional and normative in the future. According to wei xinde, in the face of a huge market for study tourism, the continuous presence of teachers, literary history, journalism and sports professionals will also enrich the professional background of the group of study tour guides and facilitate the development of study tour markets。
