"Recommended Geopark Guides (R2Gs)" are guides recommended by Hong Kong Geopark. Their status could only be obtained by completing a recognised course and then passing through rigorous assessments. R2Gs possess accurate knowledge of geology, ecology, history and culture, and are able to apply their guiding and interpretation skills to convey the knowledge of earth science to tourists in a simple and effective way. R2Gs support the concept of UNESCO and Global Geoparks, and understands the planning and management principles of Hong Kong Geopark, allowing them to provide guided tours that are both safe and high-quality. 

The 8th round of R2G recruitment will be open for application in December 2023. Details of assessment criteria and assessment method can be found on the R2G webpage. In the event of many applicants, they will be selected by ballot. Unsuccessful applicants for interview will be automatically assigned to the next round of application. The exact date for interview and further details will be announced in due course after the application deadline.
