[civsa] Summer Tours

[Scott Kirkessner]

Hey CIVSALand!

Summer Tours right now are a hot mess - we have been seeing nearly twice as many people on tours this year as last year, and we have been struggling big time to get coverage for tours.  We were pretty solid up until about 2 weeks ago, and will be struggling right up to the first day of school.

I had a few round and round conversations with the "higher ups" regarding tours in the off-season - see I want to offer a limited schedule, because our guides have limited availability.  They expect us to offer tours all the time.  When I said once that I can't force our students to work breaks, their response was "Why not?"  My response was "they're students" and their reply was "they're *employees*"

So how do you guys do it?  How do you ensure you have enough Ambassadors in the summer time?

Scott
