In recent years, a number of Cultural Affairs Bureau in county governments began to actively engage in guided interpretation services hoping such services would effectively expose local highlights to visitors thus promoting the developing the local tourism. In light of this intent, this study, through literature reviews, analysis on websites of Cultural Bureaus and interviews with practitioners at the Hsin Chu County Cultural Affairs Bureau who is proactively offering guided interpretation services, aims to explore: 1) The objectives set by county government in offering guided interpretations 2) The status and operating models of how guided interpretation services are executed 3) The impacts of guided interpretations on local tourism
