What TGF has been working on
Since the association was reactivated, we have been working on several initiatives to strengthen the guide community and support sustainable tourism development in Tromsø. These include:
- Organising open meetings and community gatherings for guides
- Launching a pilot guide training program
- Collaborating with Tromsø Municipality and other stakeholders on Northern Lights tourism guidelines
- Hosting knowledge-sharing events such as Whale Talk with Samuel and a First Aid course for guides
- Organising several dugnad clean-up events

- Building our website and communication platform
Our goal is to strengthen cooperation between guides, tourism companies, authorities, and local communities, while raising professional standards in guiding through education, dialogue, and shared responsibility.

Several board positions will be open for election at this General Assembly. We encourage active members of the guiding community to consider getting involved and contributing to the future development of the association.
If you are interested in guiding, tourism, sustainability, or community development in Tromsø, you are very welcome to attend.
More information, including the confirmed venue, will be announced soon.
