Tourism Politeness Training 3

Customer service English for tourism workers — choosing the right tone when dealing with travelers.

Vocabulary in context

Tourism professionals represent more than just their employer — they often represent a destination, a country, or an experience that the traveller may have been looking forward to for months. The language they use becomes part of that experience. This exercise focuses on the English that creates genuinely positive impressions: the words that make a destination sound worth visiting, that make a delay sound manageable, and that make a confused tourist feel looked after rather than processed. The scenarios are drawn from real tourism contexts, and the language choices reflect what actually works in those environments.
