Edinburgh’s Paid Festival Ambassadors | Glasgow News

Edinburgh’s launching Festival City Ambassadors — paid guides to help navigate its bustling summer festivals, funded by a new visitor levy kicking in July 24th. Unlike the 2017 volunteer program, this initiative hires ten enthusiastic locals (including two team leaders) to direct visitors, assist artists, and report incidents — all while boosting safety with new police support. Ambassadors earn $14+/hr, leaders $18+/hr, as part of a $50M annual fund that also funds arts and event-focused policing. It’s a smart, city-wide effort to turn chaos into charm for millions of visitors and residents alike.
