Abstract

This chapter takes into consideration the language needs of those that wish to learn a foreign language with the purpose of becoming independent travellers. That perspective has not been overtly addressed from a scholarly perspective so far and that is precisely the authors' attempt: to fill that gap and make the case for the explicit inclusion of the Language of Tourism from the traveller's perspective within Tourism Discourse. After consultation with a panel of experts and the thorough analysis of published materials, the authors indicate –through the example of Spanish for Tourism- how this specific area deserves a place within the field of Languages for Specific Purposes.
