Basics of French for Tourism Students- A Manual

With great pleasure I am presenting the book titled “Basics of French for Tourism Students- A Manual” which I believe would help the undergraduate and post graduate students pursuing Tourism degree at the level of MBA (Tourism and Travel Management) and MTA to take interest in studying French through English.The book is prepared based on the syllabus of Indian Institute and Tourism and Travel Management (An Autonomous body under Ministry of Tourism Government of India).Keeping the desk attention in mind I have carefully framed the contents for the students to start learning the language and the book helps them to be motivated and overcome linguaphobia. The book is prepared in such a way that students can easily understand the basics of tourism through English. After every topic explanations are given to make the students understand the meaning through English and the exercises will further catalyse the learning.the author Dr.Abilash R is working as an Assistant Professor at Indian Institute of Tourism and Travel Management (An autonomous body under Ministry of Tourism Gvt of India).
