What does the local guide programme mean to me

Hi there, my name is Manish Juyal. I am from India. I work as a travel consultant. Local guides programme provides me with a very powerful digital tool for helping local businesses by maximizing their visibility and reach. I have been adding local business and local places to visit in my timeline.

In India local business are mostly under the unorganised sector. The people running these businesses tend to be less educated or/ and with limited exposure and means. My contribution to the local guide programme focuses on 2 aspects of local businesses: empowerment and efficiency. On one hand I look as to how my contribution can empower a business with no or limited resources to connect to outside world. Here my role in adding their business or editing vital information like phone numbers, and location etc . On the other hand, I give a fair review to the business if I get a good service. I show my reviews mostly to the staff present to share my feedback with them. This makes them feel either motivated when the review is good or they promise better service for good review next time. This leads to improved efficiency of service provided.

attaching my most viewed pictures for you.

keep enjoying!
