English for Hoteliers

Language of Tourism

English is the language of tourism. From airlines to your destination, to check-in at the hotel, and dining under the stars with your significant other, English is the lingua franca for a smooth trip.

Airline, hotel, restaurant and other tourism personnel can benefit from improving their English skills and knowledge about their industry to assist their clients.

Your proficiency in English is tied to your career advancement usually.

Sometimes companies require a measurement of your language ability. For English, the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication) may be requested.

Preparation for the specific vocabulary of your industry and TOEFL or TOEIC preparation is ideal to achieve your career goals.

Examples of Vocabulary

¿Me permite ver la habitación primero?
May I see the room first?

¿Tiene alguna habitación más tranquila?
Do you have anything quieter?

¿Tiene caja fuerte?
Do you have a safe?

¿Está incluido el desayuno?
Is the breakfast included?
