What are Greeters

Greeters are volunteers that love their city so much they volunteer to show their city to visitors.

Not as a guide, but more like a newly met friend! Greeters will show special places that mean something in their lives.

They would also show things visitors specifically ask for such as parks, shopping, architecture or a less wellknown neighborhood.

Come as a guest - leave as a friend!

Originated in New York

The concept of the Greeters originated in New York in the early nineties and was created to promote direct contacts between local residents and visitors in the city.

This is called participative tourism.

This popular initiative was followed by many countries and cities all over the world.

Our country also has greeters, in The Hague (Den Haag).
