This dictionary aims to provide the basic vocabulary of terms used in the
leisure, travel and tourism industries; the fields covered include catering
(restaurants and kitchens), hotels and guesthouses, travel, insurance and
health and safety, together with terms relating to general business, such as
accounts, personnel etc.
For this new edition of the dictionary we have expanded and edited the text
to keep pace with changes in the industries. For example, readers will find
terms related to food and drink (including different diets and types of
coffee), ecotourism, extreme sports etc. At the same time, to make the
dictionary more useful to students, we give phonetic transcriptions for all the
headwords.
