A cultural tourism guide refers to individuals who have a broad understanding and passion for traditional Korean culture. They have received specialized training and provide high-quality interpretations to domestic and international tourists at cultural heritage sites. In 2001 and 2002, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism trained cultural heritage guides in each province. In 2005, they were renamed cultural tourism guides and distinguished from commercial guides. These guides are voluntary citizens with specialized knowledge and provide more professional interpretations to tourists visiting cultural heritage sites.
These guides offer interpretations of cultural heritage sites to both domestic and international tourists, helping them appreciate and understand the significance of the sites. They are individuals with a basic understanding of our culture and history and possess extensive knowledge about the heritage sites.
This system was jointly planned and implemented by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and local governments in July 2001. It targets individuals with a basic understanding of Korean history and culture, such as retired teachers, local historians, those proficient in foreign languages, or individuals with relevant academic backgrounds. Separate training programs are conducted at the provincial level. After completing the training, cultural tourism guides engage in interpretative activities at cultural heritage sites in their respective regions, receiving support from local governments in the form of transportation and meal expenses. Currently, there are over 1,500 cultural tourism guides active in 16 regions nationwide.
