| description | Whether it is people privileged enough to travel or people who are “toured”, there is seemingly no one whose life remains unaffected by tourism – the single largest international trade in the world (Jaworski and Thurlow, 2010), producing one of the greatest population movements of all time. Even though we sometimes forget, tourism practices involve flows and meeting points of languages and encounters with other languages and their speakers. We decided to invite contributions that would explore the multi-faceted links between tourism, languages, and literatures, as the movements across languages and cultures, inherent to transnational mobility practices, are increasing in today’s global flows, even though these movements are often absent in discussions in the social sciences and in particular in linguistic approaches or literary analysis. Indisputably, in tourism, language (for example, in printed texts or websites) plays a key role in promotion and creation of tourist destinations. |
