With the deepening of globalization, the demand for tourism talents with international capabilities in the tourism industry is growing. The reform of tourism English teaching has become crucial for enhancing the quality of tourism talents. This paper delves into the practical paths of tourism English teaching reform from multiple perspectives, including curriculum characteristics and demand analysis, the application of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) philosophy, student-centered and autonomous learning, the transformation of teacher roles, and the application of information technology. By analyzing the latest trends in the tourism industry, learner needs, possibilities for curriculum integration, specific implementation steps of the OBE philosophy, implementation strategies for student-centered teaching methods, the transformation and professional development of teacher roles, and specific applications of information technology, this paper aims to provide comprehensive and in-depth references for the innovation of tourism English teaching. It seeks to construct a more scientific, systematic, and effective tourism English teaching model, laying a solid foundation for cultivating international-minded and competitive tourism talents with foreign language proficiency.
