Travel & Tourism Phrasal Verbs 1

Phrasal verbs exercise for travel and tourism workers — common multi-word verbs in tourism English.

Vocabulary in context

Phrasal verbs in travel and tourism English tend to cluster around a few key areas: movement (set off, check in, head back), problem-solving (look into, sort out, deal with), and communication (follow up, pass on, get back to). This exercise covers the ones that come up most frequently in the daily operations of travel and tourism work — in briefings, in client conversations, and in the quick colleague communication that keeps a busy travel office running. The goal is to recognise and use them without hesitation, even mid-conversation.
