Tour GuidingThe Site
Interpretation
Principles of Interpretation
• Information, as such, is not interpretation. Interpretation is revelation based upon information. But they are entirely different things. However, all interpretation includes information.
Interpreting the Site
• Interpreters serve as links between the visitor and the site
• Interpretation has two characteristics
– It is based on-site
– And offers first-hand experiences with the site
• The goal of the interpreter should be to interpret the site and involve the visitor
Interpreting the Site
• What makes a site unique?
• Is it of historical significance?
• Is it better in a particular season?
• Is it an engineering feat?
• Do people have free access to it?
• Is it used in everyday life?
• What makes it special for you?
