Abstract
The designation “tourist texts” includes a wide variety of documents, and in order to set their characteristics it is necessary to study the different authors that have observed and analyzed this field of linguistic research. In this chapter, the authors first complete a study of the existent classifications and the discursive conventions of these texts. They start with the definition and characteristics of tourist texts. Before continuing with a classification of tourist texts, they review some of the controversies, problems, and issues derived from the attempt to classify them. Then, they provide a definition of some of the main texts from the business tourism field such as promotional material from the public and the private sector, informative texts for tourists, and operational texts. Finally, they reflect on tourism discourse, and they study the formal features of tourist texts to set the basis of the practical chapters that will follow in the book.
