Glossary of terms in the hospitality & tourism

The most important terms and abbreviations in hospitality & tourism from A – Z

In my individual glossary for the hotel and tourism industry, I share a personal selection of 300 terms and abbreviations from the world of travel. These include aspects of airlines, travel agencies, hotels and other tourism service providers that I have found particularly important in the industry over the years. The list is my subjective collection of terms and does not claim to be exhaustive, but offers an insight into the key terms used in the tourism industry.
