Abstract

This study aims at investigating the communicative procedures at play in tourism discourse, in terms of relationship between the writer and the reader. Alongside the relationship between the traveller and the host, the interaction between the writer and the reader states an extremely important aspect of both persuasive and specialized discourse. In particular, without the profound differences in the universes of both parties – readers and writers, travellers and hosts -there would be no tourism nor its cross-cultural dimension.
