The "Dictionary of Hotel Operations" promotes the development of two Romance languages (Romanian and Italian), with regard to the specialised terminology of a broad area of social relevance -hospitality industry. The dictionary provides the equivalents of headwords (single word or multi-word) in Romanian and Italian and their grammatical category. For abbreviations and jargon, the author included definitions and quotations from specialised texts in all languages of the dictionary, and disambiguisation by short contexts to facilitate comprehension. This volume is a theoretical and practical support for the translation of texts with application in tourism, professional communication, hotel operations, and customer service.
