Introduction:
English enables travels to interact with
local citizens, join in guided tours and gain deeper
knowledge about cultural heritages, customs and
traditions. Myriad type of travel resources are mostly
available in English such as booking platforms or hotels,
restaurant. Most studies just conceive that English is
just practical tool in tourism and how it helps to
understand different events or contexts during the trip.
But this thesis takes a different approach by
mentioning its vocabulary part including Phraseological
units (idioms, phrasal verbs, collocations, proverbs)
usage of contemporary technologies which helps to
comprehend the local inhabitants, also including
tourism terminology and borrowings which is the main
and crucial aspect of travelling. In addition, cultural
background information and Etymology demonstrated
massive amount of data collection which can be
beneficial for tourists. English language is bridge
between cultures because there are vast amount of
tourism insights that are given in this language. In order
to acquire a more profound understanding of tourism
discourse English is the best way of approaching this
aim. It is widely spoken language with billions of native
or nonnative speakers and a lot of tourist destinations
located in English spoken countries.
Terminology of tourism discourse -the study of
terminology and vocabulary of the tourism industry in
English language belongs to both linguists and
professionals of tourism business. The tourism
lexicology units isolated into independent terminology
system since tourism is confessed as separate branch
of economy. It is very vital to study specific terms of
related communication contexts and for gaining data
successfully about travel activities or plans. Terms of
tourism industry divided into two main layers as other
fields. They are interdisciplinary and general scientific
terms. These sort of terms always occur in new
terminology systems and they are considered to be

highly specialized vocabulary which indicates names of
subjects and concepts that are characteristics of the
industry. For instance:
A travel guide (book) is kind of printed version of book
which is devoted to a definite country or city, town
includes information on the geographical, historical,
cultural features of the country, its attractive places,
and available touristic accommodation, food,
transport. It usually demonstrates maps, illustrations,
diagrams [V. Prima 2020, Vol. 14, 69-79]. All-suit hotel,
cabana, king size bed, moderate tourist class or
luxurious rooms. Also in tourism has another section
called Intersectoral vocabulary of the tourism which
includes terms of economical terminology such as:
tariff, corporate rate, BBB tax (bed, board, beverage tax
) transport ( car rental, bare board charter, camping
trailer) sport ( bungee jumping, cave tubing) meals (
Asian breakfast, brunch) and others [I.O. Pylypenko
2018]. Also t
here is term called Micro field “tourism
organization” and it divides basic concepts of tourism
and has 5 subgroups. 1)”participants of tourism”
(tourist, host, tour operator, guide, animator ) 2)”forms
of tourism” (gastronomic tourism, last
-minute tour, all-
expense tour) 3) “tourist documentation” (visa,
voucher, accident insurance, traveler’s cheque ) 4)
“organizational
procedures”
(booking,
tour
cancellation, meet and great) 5) “advertising of tourist
services” (travel catalogue, travel fair) [V. Pr
ima
2020,Vol.14, 69-79].
Phraseological units. Tourism genres provides great
amount of comparisons, metaphors, and similes,
keywords and keying that is very appealing method of
using foreign words and ellipsis. [Dann 1996:37-39]
Tourism messages work by linking new locations to
what tourists already know making them fell more
comfortable. Eye-catching words are used to evoke
their imaginations [I. Kiss 2018; 150 ] actually there are
many phrases and collocations and others units in
order to describe touristic destinations, conditions of
tourists, environment of places in English language.
They are also highly required type of phrases that each
tourists should learn. For instance: 1. “Tourist trap” is
used when expressing astonishing places which attracts
many visitors but they are usually pricy and lacks
originality. 2.” Travel light” means taking only
necessary things avoiding heavy luggage. 3. “Off the
beaten path” is used for describing place which is not
well known and lacks visitors. 4. “Cultural immersion”
is used when expressing engagement with local
inhabitants and their traditions and lifestyles. 5.
“Hidden gem” describes lesser
-known place but very
attractive. 6.”Bucket list” –
a list of achievements or
experiences that can be accomplished during the
lifetime. 7. “Travel bug” –
extremely strong desire for
travelling. 8. “Jet lag”
- expressing fatigue and
disorientation after a long flight across time zones. 9.”
All-
inclusive”
- a sort of vacation package which includes
everything in it (meals, drinks and activities).
The word “tourism “derived from the Latin “tornus”
according to the linguists, means “moving in a circle”
[G.P. Dolzhenko 2011; 33]. “The manner in which
people view images of a destination is mediated by
cultural background”, because th
e influence of the
differential value structures (for instance: Hofstede’s
culture dimensions) “is expressed through lifestyle,
work, leisure, and consumer behavior patterns”
National cultures do affect tourists’ decision
-making,
behaviors, and satisfaction with the destination. [ M.S
Dann 2021, 626]. Cultural background information and
etymology significantly enhances the experiences of
travelers and helps to acquire the detailed knowledge
about the concept simultaneously. They also boost the
cultural vibrancy among local communities. It makes to
unify the enjoyment between two various heritages of
nations with sustainable tourism practices, providing
special way to discover astounding parts of the world.
Etymology of touristic destination enables visitors to
connect intimately with indigenous people through
authentic experiences such as exploring ancient
buildings, historical sites and by joining traditional
holidays, national festivals. And English serves as a
crucial tool for acquiring knowledge of all about
mentioned features.
CONCLUSION
To sum up, confessing English as a dominant language
in tourism discourse has magnificently turned the way
people communicate and interact with each other. It
plays a crucial role for facilitating interactions among
diverse range of travelers and service providers. It also
hones overall travel experiences. The widespread use
of global English in tourism highlights accessibility and
comprehending, in the same time allowing for a more
extended environment where information about
destinations, services, can be shared effectively within
cultures in English. In addition vast number of phrases
and terms are used for describing places in this
language
shows
that
how
English
became
internationally important in this sphere.
