How to solve the lack of guides problem

Due to the growth of world tourism, many museums and visit centers are faced with the lack of guides problem .
Guides who speak their native language or English, albeit with an accent, usually enough, but lack of guides speaking other languages is a problem.
Moreover, a guide should not only know historical information and speak language well, but for a more complete and interesting presentation of tourist sights, he should be a bit of an artist, a bit of a reciter and, of course, a storyteller.
Nowadays, the demand for such workers in many industries is quite high, so it is not surprising that there are not enough good multilingual guides, and this problem will only increase with the growth of tourist flows.
The solution is the use of automatic audio guides, for example, izi.TRAVEL, when professional guides, writers, local historians, storytellers and translators take part in creating content, and then tourists download these stories to their smartphones an unlimited number of times.

This allows, on the one hand, to offer tourists the best guide and stories, and on the other, to help tourists get a better feel for a new culture and history.

Does a tourist need VR and AR?

In recent years, Virtual and Augmented Reality technologies are widely used in tourism together with introducing innovations in all social scene. In our opinion, we need to understand where it is necessary and where it would prevent developing of real smart tourism as VR and AR do not turn a city or museum into smart in a snap. Moreover, VR and AR deflect tourist’s attention from receiving real cultural patterns of destination or museum. He can use VR or AR any time at home, but during a travel he wants to see true authentic objects. In addition, these technologies have notable disadvantages. • Need for huge Internet traffic. Often, tourists use Internet very carefully as costs may be high. • Need for special equipment. In a high stream of tourists, VR and AR glasses have to be aseptisized, and probably, changed quite often. • High costs. It is diversion of museum and destination resources to unimportant things instead of doing necessary things e.g. solvi
