All Greeters and Greeter destinations share the same core values:
Greeters are volunteers, a friendly face for those visiting a city/destination.
Greeters welcome individuals and may serve small groups of visitors.
Meeting a Greeter is free of charge.
All visitors and volunteers are welcomed without any kind of discrimination.
Greeter programs support sustainable tourism. Programs respect natural and man-made environments and bring both cultural and economical enrichment to the local communities. Programs aim for a lasting positive image of each destination.
Greeter programs create a mutually enriching opportunity for cultural exchange; create links between people in creating a better world.
