Who are we?

The Northern Ireland Tourist Guide Association is a not for profit, non-political body established in 1992 to represent the needs of professional tourist guides in the region. Our full members are: Blue Badge Guides accredited by the Institute of Tourist Guiding (ITG) in London, National Guides accredited by Fáilte Ireland, and Level 4 Guides accredited by the Ulster University. Our members speak a range of languages and engage in regular professional development to maintain their skills and knowledge base. Our main purpose is to promote and market our members, and to ensure that tourist guides are recognised as the key ambassadors of our region.
