Translations for travel & tourism

A global language guide – for your translations in the tourist industry

With more than 100 million workers globally, tourism is one of the biggest economic sectors in the world. Perfect translations are crucial for advertising destinations, accommodation, flights and tourist attractions in an international context and for providing information to tourists who speak different languages. tolingo provides outstanding translation services for this industry. The information is translated to convey the original tone and mood while inspiring the reader to take the holiday – without losing any of its accuracy in terms of its content. tolingo’s regular translation services are supplemented by special corporate solutions that make collaboration even easier and that lower the costs over the long-term.

Why tolingo

We handle your data very carefully throughout the entire process. Data security is just as important to us as the quality of our translations. This is confirmed by our 4 certifications: for translation services (ISO 17100), for post-editing of Machine Translations (ISO 18587), for quality management (ISO 9001) and for information security (ISO/IEC 27001).

Industry-specific challenges: Conveying emotions

Travelling, going on holiday, exploring foreign countries – all of these things always involve emotions. Marketing products from the tourism industry sell themselves through the feelings, expectations and vibe conveyed by the text. This applies just as much to hotel information as to destination travelogues or advertising for airlines. A purely word-for-word translation may certainly reproduce the content accurately, but is not so certain to convince the reader to book a trip.

Thanks to their linguistic and industry expertise, specialist translators at tolingo give their translations exactly the right tone, resulting in an appealing text in the target language. Good translations don’t just convince readers through captivating wording. The crucial factor is, rather, professionalism – for example, documents for exhibition or international trade fairs that are translated perfectly and appropriately for the target readership. By their nature, professional specialist translations play a large part in the success of an event, a hotel description, an advert or a website.

What kinds of texts are typically translated for the travel and tourism industry?

In addition to travel agencies and their online portals, our clients in the travel and tourism industry include companies or individuals offering holiday accommodations, airlines and cruise lines, and national or regional tourist offices. Some of the typical types of content our translation agency handles are:

User instructions for amusement rides at leisure parks, fire-safety and escape route information for hotels, hotel information and descriptions, vaccination cards and medical reports, complete websites that focus on new markets, marketing documents for tourism campaigns, tade fair and exhibition guides, press releases, travelogues, travel brochures, travel guides, travel catalogues, travel literature, travel reports for newspapers and magazines, menus, town maps and tourist information.

Our translators for travel and tourism

All of our approximately 6,000 specialist translators have excellent intercultural skills as well as either academic training in the industry or many years of practical experience. In addition to their qualified linguistic skills and the proper tone for the target language, they also have the relevant background knowledge, which takes in the regulations, laws and provisions governing the different types of text in the target country. By using the correct terminology that is common within the industry, our tourism translations also leave the professional and appealing impression that wins over both travellers and travel companies alike. When tolingo translates your texts, you benefit too from an independent proofreading by another qualified native speaker.
