Guide turistiche, domani entra in vigore la riforma. Federagit: “Sia punto di svolta contro gli abusivi”

📍 Key facts from the article: Starting tomorrow, only licensed tour guides are allowed to conduct guided tours. Non-licensed individuals face fines ranging from €3,000 to €12,000 if caught practicing illegally. Tourism intermediaries, both online and offline, Italian or foreign, can be fined €5,000 to €15,000 if they do not employ a licensed tour guide. Cultural institutions failing to use a licensed guide or hindering their entry could face the same penalties. Micol Caramello, president of Federagit, has been advocating for this reform for over ten years and now urges municipalities to implement and enforce these new regulations. Local authorities have the necessary tools to combat the issue of unlicensed guides.
