We always believe “knowledge is power” and happy to share that every attendee supported me wholeheartedly as a team in making this meetup a memorable moment.
We local guides love to travel all around the globe either as a solo backpacker or as a group. LG’s friends here have done some countries and where some like me haven’t flown to any country. There are some FAQs and other things that we should be aware of before starting a trip which made me host this meetup.
I thought of making some information accessible to everyone through word of mouth from the expert in the tourism industry.
Total RSVP: 67
Actual attended: 20
The session kick-started around 10.45 A.M, It was very formal and some things which were planned are not implemented.
Which I had taken as feedback from the LG’s.
