I made an opinion for Googler at Connect Live Tokyo 2018, that all perks would be good for guide experience and educational opportunities. How wonderful we can have various learning and experiences about it free of charge.
I heard opinions from various people. Many guides feel that they need perks. But there are also strict guides that think perks are unnecessary for selfless service. There seems to be a way of thinking that Western culture donation culture is mutual with service. On the other hand, in Japan, there seems to be a way of thinking that service is unilaterally offered. Therefore, I imagined that if perks are related to the activity of the local guide, growing guides, and increasing the knowledge that can be reflected to the map, there will be more guide convinced. There will be no one negative to education.
In addition, educational expenses are the most savings in people's living expenses. It is worthwhile to support. For that distant future, people who can not receive education may have a Local Guide as a gateway. By receiving education it is possible to indirectly increase the income of the guide.
