greeter

1. (tourism) A volunteer who shows tourists around their home city or region for free.Examples: "Visitors are matched with a volunteer Greeter according to shared interests and languages spoken, and their 3-4 hours together is a combination of what the Greeter has to offer and the visitor wants to know."; "The greeter system — a free service provided by volunteers — is popular in several cities throughout the world."; "This tourism is based on tourists' quest for an 'authentic experience', by spreading throughout the entire city (admittedly with a predilection for gentrifying neighbourhoods), seeking 'off the beaten track' (but always secure) itineraries (Djament-Tran and Guinand, 2014; Maitland, 2013; Maitland and Newman, 2014), going for a walk with a local 'greeter' and, above all, staying in a local's home."
