Abstract

The rapid globalization of the tourism industry has significantly increased the importance of professional English communication in tourism education. English has become the dominant international language used in hospitality, travel management, tour guiding, aviation, and intercultural communication. As a result, tourism students are expected to develop not only general language competence but also professional communication skills suitable for real-life tourism contexts. The study emphasizes the integration of communicative approaches, digital technologies, intercultural awareness, and task-based learning in tourism-related English instruction. The article concludes that strengthening professional English communication skills in tourism education contributes to employability, service quality, intercultural understanding, and sustainable development in the global tourism sector.
