Lương Thi Hong Nhung — 11194043 — Business English 61C EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Today, as global integration progresses rapidly throughout the world, nations encourage cooperation to advance economic growth. In which case, compared to other industries, tourism is gradually taking the lead in the economy. Many nations around the world are promoting tourist activities. The importance of translation has increased as aresult of global business.
However, translating tourism on magazines can be difficult due to the terminology. An accurate terminology translation requires the right translation techniques and the necessary comprehension of tourism concepts. The goal of this study was to understand the nature and problems of tourism terminology and how it was translated into Vietnamese articles. As a result, some recommendations were made for translators and readers to help them better translate and understand tourism terminology.
The study focused on identifying the problems encountered in translating English tourism terminology into Vietnamese for Vietnam Tourism Online Magazine. The findings showed that there were several challenges faced by translators, including the lack of standardized tourism terminology in Vietnamese, the difficulty in accurately translating idiomatic expressions, and the need for translators to have a thorough understanding of both English and Vietnamese cultures. Additionally, the survey results indicated that many students felt that the translations did not effectively convey the intended meaning and tone of the original English text. Some respondents also expressed a preference for English-language publications, even if they lacked translations.
Overall, the study highlights the need for a more systematic approach to translating tourism terminology in Vietnamese and suggests that efforts to promote English-language proficiency among Vietnamese tourism professionals may be beneficial.
