语言和旅游是两个高度相关的主题，通过许多方面联系在一起。具体而言，外语在游客和当地人的日常口语交流中，在书面创作或翻译外语文本中，在营销文本和旅游语言所涉及的许多其他领域中。这无疑是一个有趣的课题要研究，特别是因为具体的旅游语言必须提供的旅游词汇的特点是“旅游领域内的通用词汇和多学科术语的相互作用”（Mikoliagh，2015）。旅游的多学科性质使研究人员能够从许多不同的观点和角度来研究它。这使得外语和旅游业之间的联系的研究范围很广，这在今年9月在Portoroština举行的第三届国际会议上清晰可见，该会议名为外语和旅游，在旅游研究学院- Turistica。会议由从事旅游领域工作的三个机构组织：里耶卡大学，克罗地亚的旅游和酒店管理学院奥帕蒂亚;滨海边疆区大学，斯洛文尼亚的旅游研究学院;奥地利的应用科学大学布尔根兰艾森施塔特。旅游的多学科性及其研究范围与语言研究领域相结合，从许多不同的角度对外语和旅游的主题进行了广泛的研究。因此，会议从旅游语言及其文本的语言分析，教学实践和特定旅游目的外语教学领域的研究等领域提供了一个最新的创新研究，并阐明了语言，旅游和文化研究的联系。本报告旨在通过将会议报告分为两大类来介绍会议的主要亮点：语言学观点以及关于外语与旅游业之间联系的教学和教学观点。语言分析提供了广泛的创新研究。例如，Bait和Folgieri（2016）谈到了基于云的自然语言处理创新工具和程序，使研究人员能够从内容中提取情感并以人类的方式进行分析。他们用这种方法分析了意大利航空公司的飞行杂志。其他记者介绍了他们对旅游语言特定领域内不同语言现象的研究。Blažević和Košuta（2016）分析了克罗地亚官方旅游局网站和导游文本中出现的搭配，特别关注克罗地亚旅游目的地的描述。由于不对等搭配在外语产出中已被证明是一个问题，他们的研究结果可以用来为翻译以及旅游外语教师制定指导方针。在此之后，有两篇文章分析了旅游文本中的英语。Strezovska（2016）对比分析了它们在马其顿语和德语旅游文本语料库中的使用情况，并阐述了它们被使用的原因。而Bosnar-Valković和Mlacović（2016）研究了德语旅游语言中的英语，得出的结论是，
Languages and tourism are two highly interrelated topics connected through many aspects. Specifically, foreign languages intertwine in everyday spoken communication among visitors and locals, in written creation or translations of texts in foreign languages, in marketing texts and many other areas that the language of tourism reaches. It is undoubtedly an intriguing topic to be studied, especially because of the specifics the language of tourism has to offer as the tourism lexis is characterized by ‘the interaction of the general lexicon andmultidisciplinary terminology within the field of tourism’ (Mikolič, 2015). The multidisciplinary nature of tourism enables researchers to study it from many different viewpoints and perspectives. That makes the scope of research of the connections among foreign languages and tourism vast, which was clearly visible at the third international conference titled Foreign Languages and Tourism this September held in Portorož, at The Faculty for Tourism Studies – Turistica. The conference was organized by three institutions working in the field of tourism: the University of Rijeka, the Faculty of Tourism and Hospitality Management Opatija from Croatia; the University of Primorska, The Faculty of Tourism Studies Turistica from Slovenia; the University of Applied Sciences Burgenland Eisenstadt from Austria. The multidisciplinarity of tourism and its scope of research combined with the language study field invited a diverse range of research touching on the topics of foreign languages and tourism from many distinct viewpoints. Thus, the conference offered a view into recent and innovative research from the fields of linguistic analysis of tourism language and its texts, pedagogical practices and research from the fields of foreign language for specific tourism purposes teaching and shed light on connecting linguistic, tourism and cultural research. This report intends to present the main highlights of the conference by dividing conference reports into the two main categories that presented papers dealt with: the linguistic view, as well as pedagogical and didactic views on the connection between foreign languages and tourism. Linguistic analyses offered a vast range of innovative research. Bait and Folgieri (2016), for example, spoke of the of innovative cloud-based tools and procedures on Natural Language Processing which enable researchers to extract sentiments from content and analyse them in a human manner. They used the method to analyse an Alitalia in-flight magazine. Other reporters presented their research on different language phenomena inside the specific field of language for tourism. Blaževič and Košuta (2016) analysed collocations appearing in texts of the official Croatian tourist board websites and tour guides, especially focusing on descriptions of tourist destinations in Croatia. As non-equivalent collocations have proved to be problematic in foreign languages production, their results could be used to develop guidelines for translators as well as teachers of foreign languages in tourism. Following that, two contributions analysed anglicisms in tourism texts. Strezovska (2016) contrastively analysed their use in a corpus ofMacedonian andGerman tourism texts and elaborated onwhy they come to be used. Whereas Bosnar-Valković and Mlacović (2016), researching anglicisms in the German language of tourism, concluded that the decli-
