Greeters

Greeters are volunteers that love their city so much they volunteer to show their city to visitors. Not as a guide, but more like a newly met friend! Greeters will show special places that mean something in their lives. They would also show things visitors specifically ask for such as parks, shopping, architecture or a less wellknown neighborhood.
Greeters are not professional guides, that is why Greeters (for example) do not enter a museum with their guest(s), that is up to the professionals.

 

Sustainability

Sustainability is a key word for the Greeter concept. During Greets the environmental values are well respected, as is the socio-cultural authenticity of each community. Showing visitors places of the beaten path supports socio-economic developments in each destination.
