Spanish for Tourism & Hospitality — The Spanish Guide You Actually Need If You Work With Guests

Do you work — or want to work — in tourism and need to feel confident speaking Spanish with real guests?

The Spanish used at a reception desk, in a restaurant or on a customer-service call isn't the Spanish you learn in a general course. It's more formal, relies on fixed formulas, and there's no time to translate in your head in front of a guest.

I'm a native Spanish teacher, a certified trainer in Portugal and a translator. Before teaching full time, I spent two years working in tourism, in direct contact with guests from all over the world. This guide brings together the vocabulary and phrases that are genuinely used in the sector, organised by real work situation, each one with its English equivalent.

WHAT'S INSIDE:

✅ 84 words and phrases genuinely used in the industry

✅ 6 real work situations, start to finish: check-in · in the room · restaurant · directions · complaints · check-out

✅ Dialogues to practise out loud

✅ 50 review exercises

✅ A 20-phrase final test, mixed up

✅ Full A–Z glossary with all 84 entries

✅ Answer key included

WHO IT'S FOR:

Anyone who speaks English and works — or wants to work — with Spanish-speaking guests: reception, restaurant, customer service, tour guides, hotel staff.

This isn't a random word list. Each block gives you the full set of phrases one real work moment demands. By the end, you won't just know words — you'll be able to handle a complete situation in Spanish, naturally and with confidence.

BONUS: at the end of the guide, you'll find how to book a free 15-minute call with me to keep improving your Spanish with personalised classes.
