What is it about?

This is all about the necessity of learning the language of tourism. One can be a speaker of their own native language, yet they cannot understand the language of tourism embedded in their own native language. This paper therefore highlights all possible areas which need clear understanding for effective communication while travelling to a tourist destination or working in such a destination.
