隨著我國旅游業(yè)的迅猛發(fā)展,越來越多的人加入到了旅游事業(yè)當中,尤其是2008年北京奧運會的舉辦,對旅游從業(yè)人員的英語水平提出了更高的要求。為適應(yīng)這一快速發(fā)展的形勢,旅游從業(yè)人員僅有一般的外語知識還不夠,還必須學會一些專業(yè)外語知識,掌握實用英語語用技能,才能更好地應(yīng)對各種旅游活動。另一方面,編者在多年的旅游英語教學中,深感不少旅游專業(yè)的學生難以靈活地使用地道的英語。為此,根據(jù)教學需要,編者參閱了國內(nèi)外諸多書籍,結(jié)合多年的教學經(jīng)驗以及從各大實習旅行社收集來的資料,編寫了《旅游英語》。
