Travel interpreters (also called guide
or escort interpreters) accompany
either English-speaking or other 3rd
language visitors abroad or foreign
visitors to the country.
They facilitate communication
during business and/or tourist
interactions, therefore interpreting
can be professional or informal in
nature.
Heritage interpreters help other understand and appreciate
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
interesting and stimulating.
