Abstract

Along with the other tourism writings, travel guides are the result of a socio-discursive practice, since they are created in professional situations. As a social activity, the travel guide introduces, within the framework of human exchanges, a specific type of discourse which shares certain characteristics with other genres, while maintaining a specificity that distinguishes it from the others. The question that arises is: "What are the characteristics that contribute to the conceptualization of the notion of discourse, especially tourism discourse?". This paper relates to the theoreticalmethodological journey carried out during my PhD thesis, as part of the analysis of the travel guide’s tourism discourse. Our paper, situated within the written discourse analysis, aims to answer the question: "Which are the features shared with other types of discourse and which are the characteristics specific to tourism discourse?". The aim is to provide an overview of this type of discourse.
