Did you know that translation plays a major role in the tourism industry, which is the world’s highest earning sector?
In 2022, there were over 100 million tourists who came to Spain, which was an 187% increase compared to 2020. Of those 100 million, 15.6 million came from the UK, 8 million came from Canada, and nearly 3 million came from the United States.
What’s more, there were twice as many visitors in Spain in 2022 than the previous year.
However, we can’t ignore the fact that nearly 1 billion people from all over the world also travelled the globe in 2022, which was over double the amount of travellers in 2020.
Wouldn’t you agree that now is the perfect time to reevaluate your marketing and translation strategies?
It will come as no surprise to you that tourism translation for documents and webpages often requires a cultural awareness, alongside professional expertise in the field.

Our tourism translation services are available in the main international languages
It’s a well-known fact that translation from Spanish to English is almost an expected step to take nowadays, given that English is a globally recognised language.
With that being said, we mustn’t forget the languages of our dearest European neighbours, such as French, Italian, and even German.
Despite there being many tourists who live many miles away, it doesn’t stop them coming to visit Spain. In fact, statistics show that the number of Chinese tourists in Spain rose by a staggering 420% in the first six months of 2023.
Despite the Covid pandemic causing the figures to drop, Spain is a destination which Chinese tourists are very fond of. Taking this into account, why not translate your means of communication and your website into Chinese?
Translations for travel agencies
For travel agencies, translation is a key element when trying to improve their visibility. As they export their products abroad, they are forced to implement sale strategies that are tailored to other countries, because of the importance of comprehension in their line of work.
In order to achieve these goals, the first step is to establish a chain of multilingual communication, which will allow your agency to expand further afield.
A webpage will increase the amount of business you get, and by making it available to your clients, they can learn some more information, and also book the following services online:
- Commercial or private flights, train tickets, etc.
- Breaks and stays
- Boat trips
- Excursions
- Hotels and hostels
- Guided tours
As a travel agent, it would be detrimental if you didn’t include your potential services within your website, as this can lead to a lot more sales abroad. The translation of your website’s content allows you to attract a lot more clients, and the best bit about it, it’s all done at the touch of a button.
Translations for tourist information
As a representative of your community, you are responsible for bringing various activities into the light, by actively promoting them, in order to showcase the diverse culture and heritage your town/city/country has to offer. This in turn boosts the local economy.
These activities are becoming more and more orientated towards the growing number of international tourists, and range across many fields, such as heritage, culture, history, festivals, local traditions, local specialities, and technical or industrial advancements.
If you live anywhere in between the Cantabrian coast, Castilla-La Mancha, and Andalusia, we have no doubt that your village has lots of hidden gems to discover.

At BeTranslated, we are very aware of the fact that guides and marketing brochures focus primarily on cultural aspects.
This is the reason why we always select translators of the highest quality, taking into account not only where they are from, and their cultural knowledge, but also their experience in the tourism industry.
Therefore, BeTranslated’s translators place significant importance on respecting your editorial and writing style.
In general, leaflets and travel guides contain an enormous amount of information to translate. Translation tools allow our teams to carry out the translation rapidly and effectively.
With their help, we guarantee that the information will be translated efficiently, and most importantly, that the text will be fully coherent.

A website which is available in multiple languages adds something to your business.
BeTranslated has at its disposal a team of designer translators, who are internet experts, and also specialise in translating tourism webpages. They will be able to add a new aspect to your content, and they will provide you with a translated version ready for your launch on to the global stage.
BeTranslated also handles the entire translation process for your project, such as the sending or downloading of advertising brochures, managing automated emails, the launching of a marketing campaign via email, or the selection of keywords so that you can promote your website abroad.
BeTranslated’s translation services provide technical and marketing expertise that are unique and specific to the tourism industry.
Furthermore, we are also extremely knowledgeable about SEO strategies.
Audiovisual translation is also another one of our strong points! If you are the kind of person who leans towards an audiovisual publicity strategy, you can count on BeTranslated to help you with subtitling, and the translation of subtitles too.
It is true that more and more websites are turning towards animations and a multimedia design. However, fear not, as we accept any type of format!
Accurate design and how long it takes
Regardless of the type of archive file we have to deal with, we will take a great deal of care when it comes to the design. BeTranslated’s expert team of translators can work directly on your file. This way, the multilingual content will quickly bring you many benefits.
No matter what kind of file it is, our team of translators can translate the electronic file directly, for example, they work with PDF, HTML, Indesign, scripts, databases, graphs, etc.
A website that offers a guided tour, information or marketing leaflets, offers, key information, tour guides, or destination summaries, must translate these into another langauge, in order to gain an international reputation.
Let’s talk a little bit about our translation team which specialises in the tourism industry!
Our professional translation agency works with various sectors, although our translators know the tourism industry like the back of their hand.
As well as being our passion, tourism is at the heart of our profession, and one of the industries we’re the most sought after for. This field is particularly rewarding for us.
At the end of the day, a translator lives for language and culture. A headache over which term to use, and a constant longing for perfection are part of our daily routine.
In terms of our fields of expertise, they are as follows:
- Sustainable tourism
- Just and fair tourism
- Business tourism
Elsewhere, we select our team by using extensive criteria, such as:
- Their professional experience of leisure and travel, as well as the tourism industry
- Their cultural and geographical background in relation to the target audience
- Their knowledge of various tourist attractions in the area
As a result, the team has the necessary expertise to be able to respond to your needs, as well as the needs of your clients.
We will analyse the content of your documents, and translate its message and concepts into the desired target languages with the utmost precision.
