at once, and who is knowledgeable, witty, and beautiful or handsome, though
not necessarily in that order. His or her job is to make your program as pleasant
as possible. You will find them at the airport, ruins, sightseeing tours,
and cruises at the hospitality desk in your hotel.
They will be more than happy to assist you anytime, anywhere, no matter what."
