Abstract: The present paper deals with the problems verbal communication conducts to in the tourism sector. Language plays a major role in determining the causes and the means of overcoming communication barriers. The theoretical part of the present paper sustains the importance of various elements verbal communication consists of, pointing out its roots and determinants. The practical part reveals the fact that, along with an ever growing number of tourism contexts, language has gained its position of mediator between the sender and the receiver. The research in the field of verbal communication, regarding the tourism sphere, gives a positive perspective on verbal communication at the workplace, showing the path to avoiding linguistic misunderstandings.
