Abstract

The integration of culture and tourism has become a significant driver of social-economic development, which places higher demands on professionals in the tourism industry. We are in the backdrop of deep culture-tourism convergence. In higher vocational education, the incorporation of cultural elements into tourism English courses has emerged as a key factor in enhancing the quality of talent cultivation. This paper analyzes the value of integrating cultural elements into such courses, examines the current application status, and proposes optimization pathways. It aims to offer insights into cultivating interdisciplinary tourism English talents with both language proficiency and cultural literacy, thereby helping align higher vocational tourism English education with the evolving needs of the culture-tourism industry.
