Abstract

In the era of intensified globalization, tourism has developed into a major global industry that contributes significantly to economic progress, intercultural communication, and international relations. This rapid development has resulted in the expansion of tourism-related terminology, which reflects ongoing social, cultural, and economic transformations. The present study explores the linguistic characteristics of tourism terminology, with particular emphasis on its semantic features, historical development, and sociolinguistic nature. The article analyzes the evolution of tourism terms in English, the process of lexical borrowing, and the adaptation of foreign terminological units into the Uzbek language. In addition, issues related to terminology standardization and classification are examined. The research demonstrates that tourism terminology constitutes a flexible and evolving lexical system shaped by global communication and discourse practices.
