Abstract:
Different from other languages such as newspeak, journalese and many others,
tourism has its own linguistic line. The language of tourism necessitates tourism
practitioners and tourists to endlessly learn it. It covers all forms of touristic
communication at every stage of journey, safari and stay. This paper seeks to
engage in the mediation between expertise about language and the actual
language use in the tourism domain and highlights areas that need clear
understanding. It not only helps tourism practitioners sell effectively available
tourism products and services, and communicate competently with tourists and
colleagues in the industry but also government officials in curricula and policy
matters.We have found, through ethno-methodological and textual data, more
features of language of tourism through Tanzanian tourism practitioners.
