Abstract
In the modern world, the tourism business is becoming more and more popular and is developing at a tremendous speed. Different changes connected with the spreading of pandemic viruses, global and geopolitical changes influences all spheres of life, and tourism is not an exception. Such sciences as sociology, economics, psychology, and linguistics are trying to research the results of such changes. The study aims to explore the reasons of changing nature of English tourism discourse and their consequences which can be viewed at lexical, grammatical and stylistic levels. The relevance of this topic is due to the fact that, despite the presence of a large number of works devoted to the study of tourism discourse, the issue of its typological status has not been resolved. The methodology of the research is represented by a complex approach to the analysis of linguistic facts, which implies the mandatory consideration of any phenomenon in close relationship and interdependence with all elements included in the unified system of the text. In this work, the following methods of analysis of English tourism discourse include descriptive method (observation, interpretation and generalization), analysis and comparison of dictionary definitions, method of contextual analysis. The research findings of the study show the linguo-stylistic features of different genres of tourism discourse in changing conditions.
Keywords: changes, English tourism discourse, globalization, linguo-stylistic features, the geopolitical situation,
