Brno, Feb 4 (BD) – “One of the most important roles of TIC Brno is to raise interest in the city and to convey knowledge to those interested, both locals and from abroad. We like looking for new and unusual perspectives on how to see the city and its history, personalities and phenomena,” said Jana Janulíková, director of TIC Brno. According to the World Federation of Tourist Guide Associations, which established International Tourist Guide Day, this day highlights the important work of guides and the importance of tourism in general.
