Abstract

Due to the world pandemic 2020, the summer tourist season in Varna faced a number of challenges. While the changes in tourism could be considered as an opportunity to evolve towards best practices, the professional provision of tourist services in the summer season depended very much on the professionalism of the service providers and their proper training. Due to the safety precautions some of the tourist guiding techniques are now leaning towards the usual techniques from the practice of mountain guides. Responsible professional leadership skills imply that a comfortable and safe walking routine will be provided not only during trekking, but also during a short city walking tour. The paper is looking into seven parallels between the two types of organized walking routine, and the issues of supervision by a responsible guide.
