The concept

A B2B directory of professional guides, built for assignments in Japan.

L'Atelier des Guides helps travel companies find guides that match their needs, while giving guides a clearer way to present their work, exchange with one another, and hand off an assignment when another reliable profile is needed.

For companies

Find the right profiles faster

A company can review a guide directory, compare profiles, publish an assignment, track applications, and keep every conversation tied to the same need.

For guides

Make expertise visible

Each guide can show languages, specialties, work areas, and documents so companies can understand the fit more quickly.

Between guides

Help each other and hand off work

The site also helps guides communicate, share useful information, and pass an assignment to another trusted guide when a relay is needed.

How it works

A simpler flow between need, response, and handoff

01

A company publishes a need

It describes the assignment, reviews relevant profiles, and receives applications or contacts guides directly depending on its plan.

02

A guide steps in or responds

The guide can apply, exchange with the company, and confirm whether the assignment fits the field context, languages, and availability.

03

The network helps keep missions covered

When a guide cannot take an assignment, the network helps surface another reliable profile instead of letting the request stall.

What the site is trying to do

Build a more fluid professional framework

  • Help companies find credible guides that fit their assignments faster.
  • Give guides a professional presence that is easier to understand and easier to recommend.
  • Make it easier for the guide network to communicate, especially around handoffs and replacements.
Key point

This is not just a static directory

The platform does more than display profiles. It helps companies decide faster and helps guides keep assignments moving when a handoff is needed.
