Today, English plays an important role in the development of tourism, not only 
English language but also other languages play a big role in tourism sphere. This article depicts why 
English is important in the development of tourism.

Dynasty, Indo-Europe, UN, CIS.
Nowadays, we live in a period that the tourism industry is developing among countries. Through 
the tourism industry, countries’ rich culture, their tradition, rich history and of course, each country’s 
languages, which means of communication, are developing. One of these languages is English. This 
language, English, did not develop spontaneously. It also overcame certain stages and difficulties. 
After some time, its advanced manuals were published in English. After a while, English became the 
first language among the population, first in the United Kingdom and then in other countries, where it 
was adopted as a means of communication. Today, English language is the most widely spread one. 
Majority of world population can speak in this language nowadays. For example, a Frenchman can 
speak English without forgetting his national language. It is not only about French, but also people of 
other countries, including people of Uzbekistan also know English. I mean by that, it can be noted that 
«English» is the language of the world. English language is similar to rays of sun, because no home 
or no country, where English didn’t enter. At the same time, the English language has also influenced 
the field of «Tourism».
Before describing the impact of English on tourism, I would like to briefly look at the history 
of the English language. If we talk about the emergence of the English language, we need to under-
stand the language of the Germanic tribes that began to invade Great Britain in the middle of the 5th 
century. German talents conquered the lands of the local Celts, squeezing them into the northern and 
western parts of the country, and occupying much of the territory of Great Britain. The Germanic 
language developed on the basis of the dialects of these Germanic tribes, who came to the territory of 
Britain. Over the centuries, the English language, like any other languages, has significant changed. 
Some events in the history of the English accelerate these processes. Based on above, the history of 
English language is divided into four periods: Old English Period, Middle English Period, Early En-
glish Period, New English Period. The stages of development of English language listed above, which 
includes date that from the I century AD to the VII-XV centuries.
These periods correspond approximately to the following chronological stages. The first period 
covers the period from the middle of the 5
th
century, that is, the migration of the Germanic tribes, to 
1100, by the Old English (or Anglo-Saxons).
The Middle English period covers the period from 1100 to 1500 and the New English period from 
1500 to the present. The years 1500-1660 are a period in which the “Royal Dynasty of the Stuarts” 
was revived.
As soon as English was created, it had four main dialects: In Northumbria-Northumbre dialect, in 
Mercy-Mercy dialect, in South England-Wessex or West Saxon dialect, and the fourth less important 
dialect is Yut in Celt. The English language belongs to the Indo-European family of languages and 
is written in the Latin alphabet. English is one of the official languages of the United Nations and is 
the official language of other similar organizations. It is possible to specify the language of the Juts. 
English itself belongs to the «Indo-European» family of language families and is written in the Latin 
alphabet. English is one of the official languages of the United Nations and other official languages

of such organizations. For instance, European Union and the CIS are among them. This is a testament 
to the development of the English language.
In short, these were the stages of development of the English language. Now, if it is about the 
influence of English on the field of «Tourism», as long as there is a human being, it can explain the 
events that took place in its imagination, speaking through sounds and writing through letters. I want 
to emphasize that the essence of English in the field of tourism is that, this language creates a chain of 
communication among the population of the world, because by knowing the language of the world, 
you will not be ashamed to go to any country, you can study independently their historical, cultural 
and spiritual values. Today, travel agencies continue to operate in Uzbekistan. Whether you want to 
travel and make it clear which country to go to, you need to know the language of that country, or at 
least one of the world’s languages, or English.
In the world, the first travel agency was opened by Cook, in London in 1860. Later, the tourism 
industry, like other industries, reached its peak. The English language provides the above mentioned 
facts and means of communication during the trip to the field of «Tourism». Currently, ones working 
in the field of tourism, including the Tashkent Yeoju Technical Institute, where I study, pays great 
attention to study English, Russian and Korean languages. This is not in vain because the above lan-
guages are “World Languages. Anyone who wants to work for any travel agency is also required to 
be fluent in foreign languages first. We must not forget how important the English language is for 
tourism. The tourism industry also has its own branches and types. These include pilgrimage tour-
ism, travel tourism, leisure tourism and sports tourism. If we talk about the influence of the English 
language on tourism, for example, in the field of pilgrimage tourism, if we take the sacred place in 
any country, it is the ancient and great city of Bukhara, located in Uzbekistan. Bukhara was home 
to scholars such as Imam al-Bukhari and Bahauddin Naqshbandi, who contributed to the science of 
Hadith. Now, their lives are being covered in English. Learning English can help you learn about oth-
er countries. English language and tourism are closely linked each other. I would not be wrong to say 
that English can be an integral part of the tourism industry. Of course, English, the world language, 
has played an important role in the development of the above types of tourism. Travelers, whether 
they want to or not, are primarily interested in learning the language of the country, where they would 
like to visit. It is impossible to know people’s opinions and interests without knowing the language. 
Today, there are more than 250 countries in the world, and 60-75% of them speak English. This is a 
high figure, which can be explained by the growing popularity of English.
I would like to explain the main influence of English on tourism with the following example. 
Let’s say you want to travel you need a ticket, and on that ticket you can see two languages, one is 
English, which is the world language, and the other is the local language. I want to note that it is im-
possible to know and see a country, a state without knowing the language, so the impact of English 
on tourism is unique.
