industries in the world, inevitably influences all the aspects of social life, including
language. The development of international tourism has given rise to increase in
professional communication in the field. The present research aims at investigating
tourist terms found in different types of tourist texts. By tourist texts we mean all types
of written address to tourist or tourist professionals be it a brochure, a leaflet, a price-
list, or a catalog. The present paper makes an attempt to analyze the language of tourism
used to create a tourist text and particularly tourism terminology used in the process.
