Les reenviamos el correo que nos ha remitido Domingo Hernández, Manager de Social Media.
«Buenos días,
A partir del día 15 de este mes el número de teléfono que tenían para poder comunicarse conmigo va a cambiar, antes era el 629850692, a partir de ese día el nuevo número de teléfono será el 658 757 459, también voy a poner un poco de orden en cuanto a los envíos de información, la gente podrá seguir enviando sus fotos comunicados y demás pero el horario para poder hacerlos públicos en redes sociales y demás será de 9 de la mañana a 19:00 de la tarde, y será de lunes a viernes, los fines de semana salvo temas puntuales de importancia, se trasladarán a un horario más adecuado. A partir de esa hora las noticias y comunicaciones que entren pasarán al día siguiente, incluso mis respuestas.
Esta decisión simplemente es por mantener un poco de salud mental, por eso les pido que divulguen esta noticia a todos los asociados y asociaciones ya que a partir de ese día el anterior número no recibirá comunicación alguna de trabajo».
El Comité entiende esta decisión y, nos gustaría que cada Asociación tuviera una persona o dos, que sean los que le envíen noticias y hagan de interlocutores con el equipo de Social Media.
| URGENT & IMPORTANT-ANOTHER ISO STANDARD TO BE VOTED ON «ADVENTURE TOURISM» |
| Dear FEG members, We have been informed that ISO is now working on a standard on «Adventure Tourism». There are two documents, which are still considered as drafts and the deadlines for sending comments on them to ISO are here below: 1) ISO/DIS 3163 – Terminology (that surely has mistakes confusing guides and tour leaders), deadline for comments and voting till 5th of July 2021 and 2) ISO/DIS 3021 – Hiking and trekking activities — Requirements and recommendations with the actual standard with deadline till the 20th July 2021 Comments on them both are planned to be drafted by some of us and sent via our national standardisation bodies asap, till the beginning of July. I was informed that ISO must take into consideration any comments sent to them by the country-members of ISO, they cannot ignore them. I plan to work on the two docs for comments next week myself. I attach the ISO template for comments the Greek ELOT sent me, in case you don’t have it. However, I cannot send you the two draft ISO docs mentioned above, because they are internal confidential documents and you have to ask them from your own national standardisation body with their code numbers, if you are willing to help with this. We better send from as many countries’ possible our comments to ISO via our own standardisation bodies, before they vote and approve the draft standard as it is now. There were 3 previously existing ISO standards for Adventure Tourism from previous years, which unfortunately we did know of. Now it seems that they are re-evaluating them. It seems from the standard title that this may not concern us as tourist guides, but the terminology used in it is of high importance for our profession and of course, we do not want ISO to re-invent the wheel here. We hope it is not too late to amend at least some serious mistakes on terminology now. Also, WFTGA is an ISO member, and we as FEG are already CEN members for Europe. So, since our own national standardisation bodies are willing to support us on these comments to be sent, we’ll take advantage of that and take action this way, instead of having FEG involved, as we recently did in other CEN standard on the covid-19 protocols. So the request for all is: If you already have a good contact with your national standard bodies, please ask them: 1) Not to rush and vote they approve for them, if you haven’t checked them first as tourism experts 2) Ask them to send you the two ISO draft docs above, which are internal and confidential. I should not share them with all FEG members myself. Let us know what the outcome is, if you decide and can help with this. Thanks in advance! Regards, Efi Kalampoukidou, Dipl. Qualified Tourist Guide in English, German & Greek President of European Federation of Tourist Guide Associations (FEG) |
