Language service provider for tourism and the travel industry
International by nature, the tourism and travel industry demands effective communication. Translation for the tourism industry is an artistic mix of accuracy and cultural adaptation of the message to attract a cosmopolitan customer base. It requires careful crafting of promotional content to faithfully reflect each destination’s appeal.
It must convey meaning and information, and facilitate the experience of your international customer base, making sure your messages and content are understood when they plan their trips and stay with you.
Around the world in words: authentic and immersive translations
One of the main challenges of the tourism sector is to capture the essence of a destination and convey it accurately in another language whilst respecting the relevant cultural and linguistic nuances. This requires a thorough understanding of local customs and cultural expectations in order to avoid translation errors that could damage your company’s reputation. To overcome these challenges, we work with native-speaking translators possessing an in-depth understanding of local cultures in order to ensure authentic communication.
Whatever the type or format, we translate all your content: websites, social media publications, brochures, tourist guides, restaurant menus, audio-guided tours, promotional videos, online advertising campaigns, marketing emails, press releases, signs, etc.

FAQs
What types of content do you translate for the tourism sector?
Our translation services for the tourism sector cover websites, social media posts, brochures, catalogues, tourist guides, maps, restaurant menus, audio tours, promotional videos, online advertising campaigns, marketing emails, press releases, signage, and much more.
We offer SEO translation services for websites and digital content.
How much does a tourism translation cost?
Our pricing system is based on the number of words contained in the source documents.
We reduce the cost of translations with our CAT software, which uses translation memories to avoid re-translating previously translated content and detects repetitions within and between files. This allows us to offer you better turnaround times and consistent translations.
For our regular clients, we use translation memories as a reference for every new order.
Prices also depend on the chosen translation solution, which is tailored to the content and use context.
How can I reduce my tourism translation costs?
You can take several steps to reduce your translation costs:
– Prepare your documents so they’re fully editable – translating PDF documents is more expensive because they need to be reformatted first.
– Entrust the translation to a language service provider that manages translation memories for you and allows you to recycle previous translations.
– Select translation solutions and their level of accuracy according to the document’s intended use.

How much time does a tourism translation take?
Translation speed depends directly on the complexity of the source text and the translation solution used.
Depending on the quality required and the length of the documents to translate, the turnaround time could be anything from 24h (e.g. for a 2- to 4-page document) to several days. Whatever the content format and expected quality level, our quotes systematically state the time required for the translation.
