What is tourism translation?
Working with GLIM on your tourism projects
- Contractual confidentiality. Every project is covered by a non-disclosure agreement signed with GLIM and passed on to everyone involved in the file. We also sign your own NDA when your procedures require it.
- Named contributors. The translators, revisers and project manager assigned to your files are bound by the same clauses. No one accesses your documents without being contractually bound to do so.
- Controlled hosting. Your files are transferred and stored in our professional environments, never on consumer file-sharing services, and are deleted at the end of the retention period agreed with you.
- ISO 17100 traceability. The standard requires documenting who works on a file, at which stage and with which qualifications. Our certification no. FR099229-1, issued by Bureau Veritas, is audited periodically: every project is traceable and auditable.
- Your language assets belong to you. Translation memories and glossaries built on your projects can be returned to you at any time, in a standard format.
Our tourism and leisure translators work for hotel groups, convention centres, leisure operators and tourism authorities.
- Partouche — marketing translation into Japanese.

In this sector we also work with dozens of companies such as Le Negresco, the Carlton, the Ritz, Thalazur, Mouratoglou, the Côte d’Azur Regional Tourism Board, the Cannes Tourist Office, Saint-Tropez Airport, etc.
The different types of tourist documents
-
Websites and blogs: Descriptions of destinations, hotels, activities, travel blog posts, etc.
-
Brochures and flyers: For travel agencies, tourist offices, or attractions.
-
Travel guides: Descriptions of cities, regions, itineraries.
-
Reservation software and applications: Translation of interfaces for a smooth user experience.
-
Restaurant menus: So that foreign customers can order with confidence.
-
Social media content: Posts and captions tailored to each market.
Consistent and accurate terminology ensures that information about services (room types, activities, amenities) is understood without ambiguity by international travelers. Poorly translated or inconsistent terms can create misunderstandings, cause frustration, and damage the company’s reputation.
Mastering tourism terminology ensures smooth communication and enhances the credibility and quality of the offering, which are essential for attracting and retaining a global customer base.
A good translator in the field of tourism must possess a combination of linguistic, cultural, and writing skills:
-
Cultural sensitivity: This is a key skill in tourism. Translators must be able to understand the cultural nuances of the source country and adapt them so that they are relevant and appealing to foreign travelers.
-
Writing and creative skills: Tourism translation is often a work of “transcreation” that must evoke emotion and a desire to travel. The translator must have a fluid and captivating writing style, capable of highlighting a destination, hotel, or activity.
-
Knowledge of the tourism sector: A good knowledge of terms and concepts specific to travel, hospitality, gastronomy, and cultural activities is essential. This includes terminology related to room types, service offerings, tours, etc.
