            Many translators and interpreters

            Travel interpreters (also called guide


            or escort interpreters) accompany


            either English-speaking or other 3rd


            language visitors abroad or foreign



            visitors to the country.

            during business and/or tourist



            interactions, therefore interpreting

            nature.

            cultural or natural heritage. They work in many different settings,


            from parks, museums and aquariums to industrial sites interpretive


            centers and botanical gardens.








            Interpreters do not simply lecture- they have a complete


            understanding of their subject matter and share their interest and


            knowledge with others. The different audiences make this position
