IV.PROCEDURES
A. INTRODUCTION Visiting places excites our not just our hearts but also eyes.
There are amazing things we see around as we roam around the
(10 minutes) fantastic place, we are in. Sources of information can just be
found easily as we search the notable data about the place and
its locale. In this lesson, you will learn the information relevant to tour
itinerary such as sites and sites features, source information, and
commentary.
Preliminary Activity. Read and analyze the following creatively and
critically. All you need to do is to give what is being asked. Write your
answer on another sheet of paper.
A. Read the two sentences below. Then analyze how the words site
and sight are used in the sentence. After you analyze how it is use,
give your own definition of site and sight.
Jenna is a manager at a construction site.
We went to see the wonderful sight of sunset in Manila bay.
Your answer:
Site Sight

B. Are
you familiar with this link? https://www.google.com/ what do
we do here? What are we looking for when we use this
website? Explain your answer clearly and briefly in another
sheet of paper?
C. Thisis a sample tour commentary taken from blog. ”Hello good
morning everyone, I am Jenna, your tour guide! Have you
ever visited Indonesia before ? Today you will know more
about Indonesia because I will give you some information
about Indonesia especially city of Cirebon. Indonesia is
located between two continents ; Asia and Australia
continents and between 2 oceans, they are Hindia and
Pacific Ocean. Indonesia has many islands It has around
17.000 island which has name and around 25.000 island which
hasn’t had name. This speech is called commentary. Based
on what you read and understand, what is then a
COMMENTARY?

READ THESE NEW CONCEPTS:

Sites and Sights feature
Sight and site are two commonly confused words in the English
language. They may sound alike too, although despite their close
 association, they don’t really mean the same thing. These are the
differences between a
site and a sight.

ability to see things. It is a area of ground on which a
synonym of vision or eyesight. town, building, or monument

B. DEVELOPMENT Tourism Information Sources

(10mins)
Information about tourism may be obtained from the following:
• Tourism commissions, ministries, or destination management
organizations. In the Philippines, these include
provincial/City/Municipal Tourism Offices and the Department of
Tourism (DOT) Regional Offices.
• The tourists themselves through their blogs and feedback sheets
• Electronic sources, such as websites, social media, and
online videos
officially uploaded by tourism establishments.
• Books, brochures, pamphlets, flyers, and travel guides.
• Familiarization tours and trips
• Interviews with locals

We classify the abovementioned sources of information into two:

1. PRIMARY SOURCES refers to those with first-hand experience of

the destination meaning you witnessed or went the place personally.
Primary tourist resources are those that exist, or originally existed, for
non-tourist purposes. Example: School field trips, oral history;
natural landscape (e.g. mountains, rainforests, coral reefs),
religious buildings (such as mosques and temples), and
defensive sites (castles, city walls).
2. SECONDARY SOURCES refers to reports and publications. It
provides provide
second-hand information and commentary from other researchers.
Examples include journal articles, reviews, and academic books.
Secondary tourist resources are those that were deliberately built to
satisfy the needs of tourists. Examples include hotels, restaurants,
and theme parks.

USE OF ELECTRONIC TOOLS TO RESEARCH TOUR GUIDING

INFORMATION
- Use Search Engines are the best way to find information on
various sites and destinations
- https://www.google.com/ Google has many special features
to help you find exactly what you're looking for including
webpages, images, videos and more.
- www.infoseek.go.com/ helps you access maps, directories,
yellow pages, company profiles
- www.onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/ full text of more than a million
free books
- www.infoplease.com/ gives access to database information
from almanacs, encyclopedias, and dictionaries.
- www.about.com/ a directory of expert guides
- www.askmehelpdesk.com/ allows you to ask real people of what
you want to find out
2.Read Online Diaries, Blogs, and Forums – you can read blogs and
forums to find out about people’s travel experiences, learn more about
products and accommodations, and explore practical tips you can
adopt to improve your services.
3. Take Advantage of Social Media. Social networks are the most
popular free-of-charge online platform you can use to inquire for the
best tour guiding practices and ask for client feedback and ratings. It
allows you to locate and target potential client market and survey
tourist interests and preferences. Make the most of your Facebook,
twitter, Instagram, and other social media sites.
A TOUR COMMENTARY
A tour commentary is a narrative used by a tour guide to
describe a site and provide information about various aspects of a
country to tourists while on a tour. They are generally referred to as
the “guide’s speak” Refers to what tour guides say in front of the
guests when describing an attraction and include general information
and local stories about attractions or sites, local tales, events and
personalities related to the attraction.
TYPE OF COMMENTARY
1. Required is a memorized script usually provided by a company
for its guides. Deviations from the required commentary are highly
discouraged, if not prohibited by the company. Example: is the spiel
delivered by guides in a theme park attraction.
2. Informative sometimes referred to as interpretation, an
informative commentary highlights the guide’s role as an educator.
Through an informative commentary, the tour guide explains to the
visitors the meaning and relevance of the things and symbols in the
environment in a language that the visitors could easily understand
and relate to.
3. Requested is when requested or asked, tour guide shall provide
commentary to address particular needs and inquiries of the tourists.
Although this type of commentary can be called for on an ad hoc basis,
tour guides must still come prepared. - In this regard, it is important for
tour guides to know their assigned city or location very well.
4. Optional highlight the guide’s engaging and entertaining traits,
like on requested commentary, an optional commentary allows
 for the tour guide’s deeper involvement in a conversation and
analysis. In this way, the tourists can have a better appreciation
of the tour and the attraction
