In the dynamic world of tourism, language plays a pivotal role in bridging cultures and enhancing the travel experience. As global travel becomes more accessible, the ability to communicate effectively in different languages has never been more critical. Traditional methods of language learning,
while foundational, often fall short in equipping travelers with the practical skills needed for real-world interactions. In contrast, interactive language learning offers a more engaging and effective approach, tailored to the needs of modern tourists. This article explores the significance of language learning in tourism, contrasts traditional and interactive methods, and delves into the benefits, challenges, and future trends of interactive language learning in the tourism industry.
