Tourism is one of the world’s major industries. 35 million international tourists visit the UK each year, and the USA welcomes over 75 million.
Although about 610 million people in the world can speak at least some English as a second language, foreign language skills are still vital in tourism. Just because someone can speak enough English to order a coffee, it doesn’t mean they wouldn’t rather have information in their first language – especially if it’s a more complex topic, such as the history of a city. And it’s not just the language barrier, but the cultural one too: a cultural or historical reference that’s obvious in one culture might need a lot of explanation to make any sense in another.
This means that translation is essential for all in tourism.
Whether a hotel, a tour operator, an airline, or a visitor attraction, your customers can only get the best out of their visit if they have all the details they need – details that will often be missed if they only have a basic knowledge of English and there’s no translation available. And at the end of the day, a happy visitor is better for your business: if they have a good time, they’re more likely to come again and recommend you to their family and friends – the cheapest and best kind of advertising there is!
