International Tourist Guide Day 2015 - "Stones” as a nationwide theme

A large majority of the BVGD General Assembly has chosen the theme “stones” as the motto for the International Tourist Guide Day 2015 in Germany. Whether natural stones, precious stones, kidney stones, milestones or “Stolpersteine” (German for “stumbling blocks”) – the motto sets free the imagination of hundreds of tourist guides in 94 cities or regions, who provide special theme tours free of charge that day. Local associations can also motivate their members to organize special trainings on the annual theme.
