Abstract

The objective of this work is to verify how the roll of the guide-interpreters plays as a step for the durable development, permeating the hospitality notion. One of the goals of the true professionals of the reception is to turn the practice of the hospitality at the same time into universal and plural. After a general vision of the great principles of the tourist hospitality, we will observe the guides of mountain of the French Alps of the 19th century that played a special part for the first tourists in that region. Afterwards, we will situate the profession in the context of the 20th century and, more precisely, in the moment when the Occident verified the importance of preserving the natural places in the form of national parks, for instance, and the roll that the guide-interpreters may accomplish.
