SažetakČlanak istražuje različite obrazovne sustave za turističke vodiče u Sloveniji, kao i inozemstvu.Na temelju ankete provedene među vodičima i turističkim pratiteljima u Sloveniji istraživali smo njihovo mišljenje o korisnosti znanja stečena u procesu, njihova gledišta o trenutnom obliku obrazovanja i razinu težine dobivanja dozvole za vodiča ili turističkih pratitelja.Osim toga pregledano je njihovo stajalište o predloženim novim sadržajima i oblicima obrazovanja.U konačnici predložen je, dvosmjerni sustav obrazovanja, profesionalnog turističkog vodiča, odnosno skraćeno radno vrijeme turističkog vodiča i turističkog pratitelja.
