The first part of the paper gives an introduction to the town profile and its geographical characteristics. A particular emphasis is put on the natural and historical wealth of the region and its landmarks. The second part of the paper gives a pedagogical approach towards reforms in the education and creation of transversal skills of the tourist workers in terms of language competences. It stresses the importance of knowing a foreign language, and it presents the English for specific purposes in the field of tourism.
