| Abstract: | In the UK the need for language skills has gained little attention even in the field of tourism. In contrast, other EU countries have a greater awareness of the need for these skills and commitment to developing them. This suggests that tourism students in continental Europe would have contrasting attitudes to their UK counterparts. The findings of this research support this hypothesis. |
