There are two kinds of books that you can use to learn tourism English: Textbooks and travel guides.

• Textbooks are usually meant to be used in a classroom, with a teacher to guide you through the information. Some textbooks come with workbooks too, which have summaries of the textbook material and exercises where you can practice what you learned.
• Travel guides are written for tourists. They describe the best places to visit, the best hotels to stay in and other useful information for someone traveling in a new place. Many travel guides also include historical information and give tips on the best times to visit popular places. 

Which type of book you choose depends on your study style. If you like things to be explained clearly and in an organized way, you’ll probably like textbook learning.

If you prefer to learn by seeing the language being used in a natural context, and if you don’t mind learning without any guidance, then you might prefer using a travel guide.

This student’s book comes from the high-quality publisher Oxford Press as part of their Oxford English for Careers series. It’s great for any English learner who’s interested in a tourism job. 

• Thousands of learner friendly videos (especially beginners)
• Handpicked, organized, and annotated by FluentU's experts
• Integrated into courses for beginners

The first book teaches you how to talk about and sell tourism products like airplane tickets and holiday trips. It includes practical exercises, industry-specific scenarios and dialogues to help you gain confidence in using English in real-world situations.

There are other great books in the series , so you can choose the one that fits what you’re looking to learn.

This is another Oxford Press book, which focuses on learning tourism vocabulary . It covers a wide range of topics related to travel, customer service, hotel management and cultural awareness.

Every section has a summary with all the vocabulary , and ideas for how to use what you learned in the real world. That makes this a great book to use if you’re already working in the tourism industry because you can apply your new knowledge right away.

The book also provides practical language exercises, scenarios and dialogues that simulate real-life situations in the tourism sector. 

This textbook is from another well-known publisher, Pearson. It uses many photos and has some audio sections so you can hear the material spoken out loud.

• Interactive subtitles: click any word to see detailed examples and explanations
• Slow down or loop the tricky parts
• Show or hide subtitles
• Review words with our powerful learning engine

The book is organized well, but it’s very dense (has a lot of information in one place). It’s better to read this one with a teacher or at least another student so you can practice with the group activities.

If you can, get the workbook to go with it. This book is for the intermediate-level learner . They also have an upper intermediate version and workbook . 

The “Flash on” series is broken up into units that are short and easy to understand.  “Flash on English for Tourism” is a workbook, so it’s much more interactive than a textbook , with many ways to test your knowledge of vocabulary and skills.

It offers a focused approach to learning key vocabulary, phrases and communication strategies that are essential for interactions with tourists and travelers.

The book includes practical exercises and real-life scenarios , making it a valuable tool for anyone looking to enhance their English language abilities in the context of tourism and hospitality . 

Rick Steve’s guidebooks are written in a friendly and easy-to-understand way . There are guides for many European countries, but you can learn a lot from Steve’s books even if you don’t work in Europe.

The guidebooks use many tourism vocabulary words (like sights and accommodations ) and some interesting historical facts about popular sights. They also offer practical advice and cultural context to help travelers make the most of their European adventures.

• Learn words in the context of sentences
• Swipe left or right to see more examples from other videos
• Go beyond just a superficial understanding

With a focus on independent and budget-friendly travel , these guidebooks could be a great resource if you work with clients who are hoping to travel affordably. 

Created by Harvard students, the “Let’s Go” series of travel guides is designed for budget-conscious and adventurous travelers . The guides cover a wide range of destinations worldwide, catering to backpackers and student travelers.

If you’ll be working in a place where you expect to see a lot of younger clients, these guidebooks are a great way to learn some college-age tourism vocabulary .

You’ll learn language related to budget accommodations, dining options, transportation tips and off-the-beaten-path experiences (different from the normal tourist experiences). The guides are known for their detailed research and honest reviews. 

The Lonely Planet guidebooks are known for their comprehensive coverage of destinations across the globe and cater to everyone from solo travelers and backpackers to families.

They also include maps, itineraries and practical travel tips that can help you provide great service and useful information to your tourism clients.

These guidebooks are not easy to read even for a native speaker, so don’t try to understand everything. Instead, use them to look for vocabulary and phrases, like world-famous (known all around the world) and overnight stay (when you only stay at a hotel for a night).

• FluentU builds you up, so you can build sentences on your own
• Start with multiple-choice questions and advance through sentence building to producing your own output
• Go from understanding to speaking in a natural progression.

For travel guides that are educational and interesting to read, try the “Brandt’s Eccentric” series.

These guides talk about things to see that are eccentric—unusual and a little weird. They’re more interesting than normal travel guides , but still use all the vocabulary and phrases you would need for a job in the industry.

With a focus on unusual destinations, events and attractions that differ from the norm, these guides introduce travelers to places they might never have considered. They might be especially usually for you if you’ll be working in a place with unique attractions.

9. DK Eyewitness Travel Guides  

The travel guides from DK Eyewitness are comprehensive resources that help tourists explore destinations worldwide. They provide valuable information about local culture, history attractions and practical travel tips.

• No reliance on volunteers or open source dictionaries
• 100,000+ hours spent by FluentU's team to create and maintain

The “Rough Guides” series offers travelers a wealth of information and insights into various destinations across the globe. These guides provide travelers with a well-rounded understanding of each location .

By using these guides to learn English for tourism, you can build your vocabulary and communication skills while learning about how to provide enriching travel experiences.

What sets “Rough Guides” apart is their dedication to uncovering hidden gems and providing travelers with a deeper understanding of the places they visit. This, in turn, can help you become a source of detailed information about many destinations and tourism experiences. 

You can learn a lot from both textbooks and travel guides, but you need to study them differently. Here are some tips for learning as much as you can from textbooks:

• Skim before you read. Every time you start a new chapter, skim the chapter’s pages first by looking over the text without reading every word. Look at the titles and any words in bold or italics. Read the introduction and summary if there is one. This will help you prepare for the new information and will give you a good idea of what the chapter will teach you.
• Do a little bit at a time. The writing in textbooks can sometimes be difficult to understand, or there can be a lot of information on every page. Don’t try to hurry through the entire book. Instead, learn one thing at a time. Only continue to the next chapter of a textbook when you completely understand the material in the previous chapter. 
• Schedule study time… and break time. Make sure you have time to study in a quiet, comfortable area without any distractions. Don’t forget to take breaks. Refresh your mind by relaxing for ten minutes once in a while, and refresh your body by using these breaks to get up and move around.
• Read each chapter twice. The first time you read a chapter, don’t take any notes. Just read it and try to understand. You can make a mark with a pen wherever you don’t entirely understand something. On the second reading, read more carefully, take notes and spend some time understanding the confusing parts.
• Do not read tourism guides like a book. Even tourists don’t read the entire guide from the beginning until the end! There is too much information about too many things in these books. Instead, read a few sections from each part of the book.
• Focus on vocabulary and phrases. Some words are used over and over in travel guides. If you see a word or phrase repeated more than once in the book, write it down and look it up.
• Use a travel guide for the place where you’d like to work. By doing this, you can learn about the different historical facts of the area, places to visit and tips for where to eat and what to do. Knowing about an area will help you in a tourism job!
• Take notes in sections. Tour guides are usually organized by location, with information on places to stay, eat, explore and more. When you’re taking notes, organize them by topic instead of location. For example, put all transportation-related notes together, historical terms and facts in another section, and restaurant vocabulary in a different section.

Thanks to these tourism textbooks and guides, your English will be ready for a job in tourism.

Just don’t be surprised when reading them makes you want to travel too!

The Malaysian government has designated 2007 as visit Malaysia year. The country is expected to attract more than 20 million visitors and earn about RM50 billion from tourism related activities. An important component in the tourism industry is the human resource. The human resource factor plays an eminent role in promoting the image of the country as a top tourism spot. Tourists do not just come for the facilities and attractions. They want to be treated right and well. A good command of the English language is always regarded as an asset for personnel in the tourism industry since most visitors do not speak Bahasa Melayu, the national language. However, the preference for those with good English proficiency will burden the recruitment of hotel personnel.

Oxford English for Careers: Tourism 3 Student’s Book

December 2011 – volume 15, number 3.

This critical review evaluates the appropriateness of the Oxford English for Careers: Tourism 3 Student’s Book for students enrolled in an undergraduate Tourism Management program. The evaluation is based upon the observed effectiveness of the text as a course book during a first-year English lecture within the Tourism, Sport and Event Management program (TSE) offered by the School of Economics and Management at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano (FUB). The FUB is a trilingual university where students attend content courses taught in Italian, German and English. All students must document at least a B2 proficiency level according to the Common European Framework in two of the three official languages of instruction prior to admission into an undergraduate degree program. By the end of the first year of study, students in the School of Economics and Management must demonstrate at least a B1 proficiency level in the third official language, and before graduating they must demonstrate at least C1 in one language and B2 in the other two. Language proficiency is certified by the University Language Center, which also organizes courses and autonomous learning programs to help students meet language requirements. Students enrolled in the TSE program must, in addition, complete two of three first year language lectures at the B2 level. Native speakers of German must attend English and Italian, while native speakers of Italian must attend English and German. The lectures are not intended to satisfy language requirements, but are conceptualized as “specialized” language courses (i.e., for Specific Academic Purposes) that prepare students for the linguistic demands of the degree program. The Oxford English for Careers: Tourism 3 Student’s Book was used as a course book for the TSE English lecture.

Tourism 3 was selected due to the absence of EFL texts for Sport or Event Management, and because most recent EFL books for the tourism industry are designed for working professionals, rather than first-year, multilingual university students. The Oxford Tourism series is likewise intended for professional purposes, but the third book turns from interactions with customers to concepts and issues of tourism management. Furthermore, it covers specialized language at a B2 to early C1 level, which is ideal for a B2 academic setting. [1] The greatest strength of the book is that each chapter contextualizes a series of communicative tasks to a contemporary tourism management theme, many of which can be expanded to the sport and event markets. The most pertinent themes include: historical and future market trends, the role of national tourism organizations, the impact of information and communication technologies, quality control, negative externalities, sustainability, and social tourism. Each unit builds upon native-like texts and audio recordings featuring managers and educators in the field. The reading and listening activities proceed from comprehension checks to pair and group discussions, and are interspersed with contextualized information gaps, vocabulary building, inductive reviews of linguistic features, pronunciation tasks, speaking tasks and writing assignments that can be completed in class or as homework. The book is accompanied by a student’s website that offers additional practice with vocabulary, grammar and listening, and the Teacher’s Resource Book contains background information on key concepts and follow-up activities.

Tourism 3 is ideal for current managers who are upper intermediate learners of English or for Tourism Management students and recent graduates who are about to enter the job market. The thematic content is practical, relevant, current and intellectually stimulating. But the book has three major limitations in a European academic setting. First, its communicative-functional approach to language fails to systematically review the key grammar of the B2 level. The two Language Spots in each unit require students to notice, process and practice useful formulaic phrases, but do not systematically review the linguistic features on which B2 students are universally tested in Europe, for example, all tenses, mixed conditionals, the passive voice, etc. Second, some of the reading, listening and vocabulary tasks and many of the speaking and writing tasks are too practical in nature for the university. As higher education throughout the world shifts to vocational training, this might seem appropriate. In reality, however, skills for writing a cover letter and C.V., preparing for a job interview, responding to complaints, giving a professional presentation, and negotiating, etc., are not urgent matters for students occupied with achieving B2 and passing Economics and Management courses conducted in English. It might be helpful for the students in the long run to acquire practical skills, but it is unfair to spend valuable class time on skills they will not be tested on. Finally, the book omits one of the most crucial aspects of both Tourism Studies and Language Studies: the challenges and benefits of being/becoming multilingual and engaging in intercultural communication. This is especially important for a multilingual and multicultural group of students preparing for study and eventual employment in a field founded upon intercultural encounters. Tourism 3 surveys international opinions, uses examples from around the world, and discusses the need to respect host communities. It confronts students with the need to be environmentally friendly and socially responsible. Yet it never asks students to reflect upon the barriers to communicating and doing business across languages and cultures, nor how different cultures produce different solutions to problems like the sustainable development of tourism products and the inaccessibility of sites and services to various segments of society. In the book’s defense, however, most foreign language texts and most tourism studies programs around the world lag behind in this regard as well.

As one of the most suitable books on the market, Oxford English for Careers: Tourism 3 exposes a gap in EFL teaching resources. There are simply few options available to instructors of English for the specific academic purpose of Tourism Studies. But all foreign language textbooks must be used with caution and must be complimented and supplemented with custom learning material and activities from other sources to meet the demands of a specific course. If one is willing to apply Tourism 3 as a sourcebook, as opposed to a course to be followed from cover to cover, then it provides numerous reading and listening comprehension activities and numerous discussion prompts that are appropriate and effective in even the most academically demanding EFL contexts.

[1] I considered 12 recent ESP series that are intended for the field of tourism. Only two had content that was also adequate for academic purposes: OEC: Tourism 3 and English for Tourism and Hospitality in Higher Education Studies (2009) from Garnet Education. Both books covered similar content, and while the latter is perhaps more appropriate for academic purposes, it is too advanced for B1 students.
