浙江旅游职业学院以导游、电子商务专业为主体的导游专业群成功入选2019年中国特色高水平高职学校和高水平专业建设计划。导游专业群所在的旅行服务与管理学院为落实该专业建设计划，制定了2020年学院的人才培养方案，其中《旅游英语》设计为该学院的专业基础课，作为公共平台涵盖学院现有的四个专业：导游，电商，研学和景区。实施本教材的编写项目，既是为了落实导游专业群的国家双高建设任务，也是为旅管学院各相关专业定制一本新形态的专业英语教材。同时，它作为五年制中高职一体化教材，我们也希望国内相关院校能与我们一起共同分享并完善本教材。该教材突破了国内目前《旅游英语》教材单纯强调英语语言能力训练的传统思维，注重职业素养和英语能力并重。在全英语编写的基础上，它展现了当代国际旅游业的整体框架，包括基本概念，主要问题，业界动态，和发展趋势等，分为以下8个章节：1）当代国际旅游简介；2）旅游业；3）旅游管理；4）旅游的经济影响；5）旅游的社会文化影响；6）旅游的环境影响；7）旅游和技术；8）旅游的未来。教材主要体现以下几方面特色：突出专业英语内容；训练ESP专项能力；培养职业英语素养。
