@Debbyshara Hi, i agree with you that this is a voluntary program and with that some people do get perks and some don't depending on their geographica loation which may add to logistical issues for giving out perks. Local guides is also about having fun and making new connetions with different people as you interact with them at new places. And there are many ways you can grow with the program by being a streeview photogapher and advertising yourself as a trusted photographer.
Thank you for sharing, but since what you shared is not an idea, I will be closing it.
Idea exchange is a place on Connect for Local Guides to share their feedback and ideas with our team to tell us about a way to improve the Local Guides program.
