The Tourism Ministry has announced it will take a more active role in licensing and supervising tour guides. Ordinary guides are licensed after completing 160 hours of training and a 40-hour refresher course annually. Of concern are specialized guides conducting river rafting expeditions, kayaking, hiking and the like. There have been complains that their training and abilities sometimes are limited.
