Abstract:

This paper examines the impacts of organizational culture on the learning and development of tour guides. Drawing on a case study of a small entrepreneurial tour company, the paper considers the nature of the organization's culture, the tours it provides, including their narrative contents and the processes of organizational learning and socialization. The paper suggests that the development of a learning culture within such an organization may benefit from the provision of appropriate learning opportunities among the guides and facilitators who coordinate guide development.
