Code of Conduct for Experience Curators

Experience Curators are expected to adhere to and respect the ZaNiheza Experience Curators Code of Conduct. The ZaNiheza Curators Code of Conduct contains quality standards as well as basic requirements for Curatoring.

  1. Quality Standards

Curator quality at ZaNiheza is defined by the following standards:

Passion

Passionate Experience Curators are the heart of ZaNiheza. Our promise to travelers is to offer them a unique experience, led by Experience Curators that are passionate about the topic of the experience, have a personal connection to it, and deep knowledge of it.

As an Experience Curator, you are expected to communicate this passion with your guests:

  • Know your topics in depth, extra research and preparation work can make a world of difference.
  • Be fully present during the experience, for example avoid getting distracted by your mobile.
  • Be open and reactive to the feedback you receive from guests and ZaNiheza.

Authenticity

Our Experience Curators want to share the real soul of their city or town, offering an authentic and cultural experience to guests.

Provide an authentic experience by sharing a unique perspective, unveiling secret gems, providing unique access to your guests. Remember that guests booked you because they are looking to experience something they could not do by themselves!

Connection

Connecting cultures and people is our mission. Connect with your guests at all the steps of their ZaNiheza journey.

Before meeting the guests: 

  • Be available to reassure your guests and answer their questions. They might need some extra information, or simply reassurance that they picked the right Experience Curator and experience.
  • If any changes are necessary on the route or plan for the experience, communicate it clearly to your guests. Make sure that they are comfortable with the changes.

During the experience:

  • Pay attention to your guests’ needs: specific groups (elderly, children, persons with disabilities) may need special care.
  • Face your guests and make pauses when giving an explanation to make sure everyone in the group feels involved and engaged.
  • Be mindful of cultural differences, remember that different people may expect different behaviors and have different sensitivities. Remain curious and keep an open mind.

After the experience:

  • Following up on the experience and sharing extra information and tips with the guests can go a long way!

Not meeting these standards will result in an incompatibility to work as a ZaNiheza Experience Curator. If you need any extra support or coaching, we are here for you! Check our Learning Center or get in touch with our team to receive help & resources.

By facilitating access to different cultures and everything the world has to offer, we hope
to inspire people to learn, create equity in pay for Experience Curators and increase awareness and
empathy to spark positive change. This intention underpins everything we do.

We believe that celebrating the diversity of our Experience Curator community, all of
our guests, and our team will make the world a better place.
