THE BEST TOUR EXPERIENCE - THE BENEFITS OF TOUR GUIDE SYSTEMS | WIRELESS AUDIO TOUR GUIDES
Australia’s tourism industry is growing every year and it’s expected to reach over 9.3 million visitors by the end of 2019. Following with this of influx of tourists, the demand for educational and business-related guided tours also increases. Guiding and educating a tour group, in a factory or large crowd, usually requires the speaker to talk in a loud and projective voice. As a result, the speaker strains their voice while many listeners still struggle to hear them. The tour often ends with the speaker having a sore throat or lost voice and a group of people that missed all of the information that was given to them. Voice strain and message confusion are a thing of the past, as a tour guide system guarantees a more enjoyable experience for both parties.
What is a tour guide system?
A tour guide system is a wireless, portable one-way audio solution that allows a speaker to be heard clearly by a group of people. The tour guide uses a headset microphone to deliver a message to delegates wearing headphones, creating an interactive, inclusive, but also private and conducive learning environment. Although they can be used in many different scenarios, the most common uses are for factory tours, corporate tours, university tours, travel tours, trade shows and language interpretation.
