What to Do

Understand the key travel and tourism vocabulary in Spanish. This may include words such as ‘viajar’ (to travel), ‘turismo’ (tourism), ‘hotel’ (hotel), ‘reserva’ (reservation), and ‘destino’ (destination).
Focus on the four language skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking. Practice these in the context of travel and tourism. For instance, listening to audio recordings of conversations in a hotel or reading a Spanish holiday brochure.
Develop your understanding of Spanish cultural practises related to travel and tourism. Remember, many Spanish-speaking countries have different traditions related to vacationing, sightseeing, dining and lodgings.
Learn how to book accommodation, ask for directions, and discuss travel plans in Spanish. This could include phrases like ‘¿Cómo llego a…?’ (How do I get to…?), ‘Me gustaría reservar una habitación’ (I would like to book a room), and ‘¿Qué me recomienda visitar?’ (What do you recommend I visit?).
Strengthen ability to discuss different means of transport in Spanish. From ‘avión’ (plane) to ‘tren’ (train) and ‘autos’ (cars), these are all essential when discussing travel.
Practice asking and answering questions on past travels in Spanish. This can both utilise and expand your knowledge on talking about experiences in past tenses.
Learn how to read and comprehend travel schedules or itineraries in Spanish. This includes understanding timings, dates, departure and arrival, as well as names of places.
Make an effort to understand Spanish speaking countries’ geography. It is likely you’ll come across city names, regions, and landmarks in the context of travel and tourism.
Develop an understanding of Spanish travel and tourism terminology within different contexts, like business tourism or ecotourism. This can further expand your topic-related vocabulary.
Regularly test your knowledge with practise papers to identify areas you need to improve. This will not only develop your skills but also build your confidence in tackling travel and tourism topics.
