| ADVENTOURS has been heavily involved in building professional associations (tour guides and tour operators), a policy that has led to the future implementation of guidelines for tour guides and tour operators through the Best Practices Committee of the Puerto Rican Association of Interpretation and Education, Inc. (APIE). In October, 2007, Occupational Standards for Outdoor Nature Guides and Outdoor Adventure Kayak Guides where developed for the first time. |
