Translating Tourism

Translating Tourism, 1st Edition, by Stefania M. Maci and Cinzia G. Spinzi, examines tourist discourse while providing a structured guide to translating tourism texts. Designed as a textbook for researchers and professional translators, the volume evaluates how specialized language and translation strategies operate across international travel media.

The main coverage addresses both conventional printed documents and digital forms of tourist communication. Throughout this analysis, the authors view tourist translation as a mediatory act between cultures, highlighting the practical necessity of a functional and flexible translation methodology that adapts to varied text types, reader expectations, and delivery channels.

This methodological orientation directly supports upper-level university coursework and professional research in translation studies. The textbook equips educators, graduate students, and language specialists with a systematic analytical approach, preparing readers to assess how specific translation decisions influence written and verbal communication across diverse international travel contexts.
