As Singapore moving towards a service industry, I wonder is it a good idea to train more taxi drivers to be tour guides. With Singapore is gearing to welcome 17 millions tourists arrivals.
Tourists want the best value for their money, they like to see more and interesting destinations that they had never seen before in the shortest possible time.
A good taxi driver is likely to be very well verse with all the unusual and interesting places in Singapore, which might satisfy a tourist curosity and in turn tell their country man and return for a visit.
The industry might be facing shortage of good tour guides in the future. A comprehensive selections of capable leaders in taxi drivers with good track records to be trained as tour guides to meet the challenge?
I wonder what types of comprehensive plans to train the taxi drivers to meet the challenge?
