随着我国旅游业的迅速发展,出境和入境旅游人次的大幅增加,对于旅游人才的需求也从单纯的专业技能型人才转变为具备国际视野,同时拥有一定跨文化意识及能力的复合型人才。作为培养涉外旅游人才的重要场所,我国的高职院校虽意识到跨文化交际能力培养的必要性。但却忽略了其与高职涉外旅游专业能力培养的关联性。因此,本文以武昌职业学院为例,发掘跨文化交际能力在高职涉外旅游专业能力培养中的积极意义。 With the rapid development of China’s tourism industry and the substantial increase in the number of inbound and outbound tourists, the demand for tourist talent has also shifted from a purely professional and technical talent to a compound talent with an international perspective and a certain cross-cultural awareness and ability. As an important place to cultivate foreign tourists, our vocational colleges recognize the necessity of cultivating intercultural communicative competence. But ignores its relevance to the training of foreign tourism professionals in higher vocational education. Therefore, taking Wuchang Vocational College as an example, this paper explores the positive significance of intercultural communicative competence in the training of foreign tourism major in higher vocational education.
