Limited new opportunities tour and travel guides will arise in expanding tourism businesses although there will be a need to replace those who retire.

Industry sources report a growing need for multilingual tour guides, so there will be increasing demand for those with other languages. Tour participants are also now more interested in background information on a tour, such as details about the natural setting, political background and Aboriginal culture.  Guides who can educate, as well as entertain will be in high demand.
