Free Online Course from Alison on learning English for Tourism and Guided Tours

Alison is offering a free online course to learn English skills used in tourism and guided tours. English is the main language of international communication and is essential for people working in the tourism industry. This course introduces the key English vocabulary needed when speaking to tourists. You will learn the necessary English skills for working in tourist information offices, including how to provide directions, understand guidebooks, and write press releases.

About this course:

This course will discuss why tourist office employees’ role in providing the most accurate possible to tourists often requires them to be fluent in English. You will then learn how to use the present simple tense to refer to an action or event that takes place habitually or is semi-permanent. This skill is very helpful when discussing itineraries with tourists.

Guided tours are generally divided into two categories: city tours and extended tours. City tours take place solely within a city and are one to six hours in length, while extended tours explore cities as well as the surrounding region and can be anywhere from one day to a few days.
