I'm interested to know what you find out about the use of headsets. With our
limited staff we find it difficult to give everyone a personal tour around
our museum. In addition some people don't want the tour at all, but maybe
they would use a headset??? It might be nice to provide another option to
our visitors and doesn't necessarily mean that you don't offer tours. Having
a pre-recorded tour would also be a good training tool for our summer staff.

I appreciate you comment HOWEVER, staff will have more of an opportunity
to visit and chat with our visitors.
Sites also need to start recognizing that it is going to become very
very difficult to find staff, we need to be prepared for the change.
We will always have staff, but need to be more strategic as to how we
are going to utilize their expertise.Â

We eschew this form of touring as it does not involve human contact,
also creates a situation where guides are no longer needed, not a good
message to send to funding agencies.
Live people are best!

We are thinking of introducing 'Guided Tours' with the use of Headsets,
for our visitors to the Historic Roadhouse. We would be grateful for
the opportunity to contact anyone who is currently using this method of
touring.
