Terminology and Translation Employed in Tourism Industry:

Tourism in the Arab World encompasses a wide array of activities and tourist attractions in an area spanning more than 13 million square kilometers. The Arab World mainly consists of the Arabic-speaking countries and populations in North Africa and Western Asia. Arabic language has attained the status of an International language. United Nations has adopted Arabic as one of its six official languages. Arabic language plays a vital role in the commercial and the cultural fields in the globalizational era. Translation is the communication of the meaning of a source-language text by means of an equivalent target-language text; the act or process of translating something into a different language. Arabic translation efforts and techniques are important to Western translation traditions due to centuries of close contacts and exchanges. Europeans start to study the Arabic and Persian translations of classical works as well as scientific and philosophical works of Arab and oriental origins. The purpose of this work is to train the students in the translation studies from Arabic into English and vice-versa in the field of Tourism. It is hoped that this book will help the Translators.
