Abstract: Tourism, as a dynamic and multifaceted global industry, not only stimulates economic activity but also fosters meaningful intercultural engagement. Central to this interaction is language, which plays a pivotal role in conceptualizing and communicating tourism-related ideas. This article undertakes a comprehensive semantic analysis of tourism terminology, investigating their denotative and connotative meanings, metaphorical constructions, cultural influences, and ongoing semantic transformations. Drawing upon examples from ecotourism, cultural tourism, and digital tourism, this study endeavors to unveil the intricate relationship between linguistic expression and evolving tourism practices.
