Part 1, "Inbound Tourism," consists of nine units covering topics such as welcoming guests and transfers, registration and check-in, itinerary arrangements, city tours, dining, purchasing handicrafts, visiting tea plantations, visiting silk museums and silk factories, and handling complaints. Part 2, "Outbound Tourism," also consists of nine units covering topics such as check-in for flights, entry and exit, customs clearance, flying, staying in hotels, currency exchange, dining in Western restaurants, shopping, participating in free activities for tourists, and coordinating with local guides. Each unit includes six sections: lesson introduction, professional vocabulary, situational dialogues, essential sentence patterns, reading materials, and exercises.

This book can be used as a textbook for tourism majors or as a work manual for tour guides in travel agencies.
