    Activity 1.

    Now that you know essential terms in the study of safety guidelines for tour guides,
    travel agencies and tour operators. Let us try to check your understanding of these terms. In the
    space provided, write the term/s being asked in the following statements:

    Organized travel 1. It is defined as tours and excursions which travel agencies and tour
    operators create, offer and sell, on their own initiative or upon a customer’s request, tourism
    related services or leisure activities for professional purposes.

    Heat Exhaustion 2. This condition often occurs when people exercise (work or play) in a hot,
    humid place and body fluids are lost through sweating, causing the body to overheat.

    Health 3. It refers to a state of complete physical, mental, and social wellbeing and not merely
    the absence of disease or infirmity.

    Heat stroke 4. This happens when the person's cooling system, which is controlled by the
    brain, stops working, and the internal body temperature rises to the point where brain damage
    or damage to other internal organs may result (temperature may reach 105+°F).

    Driving excursions 5. It is defined as passenger transportations in motor vehicles which are


    registered for nine or more passengers. This also refers to specially equipped vehicles used in
    tourist services, for example mountain excursions, even though they carry fewer than nine
    passengers.

    Incident report 6. It shall be used to reassess services, improve safety, risk assessment and,
    finally, contingency plans.

    Safety Plan 7. This plan shall specify the appropriate knowledge and training of staff, as well as
    the equipment needed for a variety of situations and circumstances, to which all passengers
    must have ready access.

    Wilderness First Responder Aid Course 8. The aim of this course is to give the participants
    thorough training in first responder aid so that they are able to respond to accidents and
    illnesses when specialized help is at a distance or help cannot be summoned.

    Rules on work procedures 9. It must be compiled containing an outline of how the company
    implements its service, demands placed on staff regarding knowledge of local conditions on the
    tour in question, the experience, knowledge and training of staff members, checklists,
    equipment lists, the number of customers per guide on each tour or excursion, choice of routes
    and the provision of information to participants.

    Safety 10. It refers to the condition of being safe, freedom from danger, risk, or injury.
