Abstract

English for Tourism is typically taught to students in vocational or high school programs focused on the Tourism Industry. However, in learning English at vocational schools, only a few books are used to learn English vocabulary related to the corpora used in this discipline. This research aims to collect the 100 most frequently used words in English for Tourism. This research collected quantitative data using the software AntConc 4.2.0 to find the frequency of words in authentic English materials for tourism. In this research, the source of the corpora are two books about Tourism Management. The data analysis results in the 100 most frequently used words in each tourism book are 12 types of words and 31 tokens found in both books. The types include attract, culture, develop, environment, market, mount, offer, pay, promote, provide, tour, and visit, with the tokens are attract, attraction(s), cultural, culture(s), develop, developed, developing, development, environment, environmental, market, marketing, mount, mountain(s), offer(s), offered, pay, payments, promotion(s), promotional, provide(s), provided, providing, tour(s), tourism, tourist(s), visit(s), visited, visiting, and visitors. In addition, one word with the same type and token has a collocation relationship. For example word tourist can collocate with attract, attracting, attraction, development, and provide. The use of the colocation is to know how to use the frequently used words in the context of tourism. Teachers and students of ESP can use this corpora for tourism to learn vocabulary related to tourism and use the words as tourism keywords.
