Summary:碩士 === 國立高雄餐旅大學 === 旅遊管理研究所在職專班 === 101 === Taiwan Tourism Bureau released statistics show that in 2012 there are 7,311,470 tourists to visit Taiwan, was 2.78 times in 2000. Tour guides in Taiwan also quickly grew from 2,360 in 2000 to 30,301 in 2012. However nearly 75 percent (about 25,000) tour guide who has passed the national examination did not enter the workplace, which is a clear indication that dysfunctions and misconnection exist in our cultivation policies for tour guide. In this study, 427 valid questionnaires were returned and in-depth interviews were conducted with 17 government and academic scholars. Interviews were transcribed and themes that emerged during the ‘conversations’ were identified and coded. The insights derived from this strategy were used to enrich the analysis of the different results encountered in the survey responses. The results show that industry, government and academic communities are certainly trainee accompanying tour guides on improving the current effectiveness of pre-service training, and implementation details made many suggestions. And a existed mechanism should be modified. We proposed a new mechanism to integrate an internship programs into present tour guides pre-service training system. The new mechanism we proposed will be focused on occupational requirements to properly coordinate the tourism industry.
