The present article examines the interrelation between professional competence and foreign language communicative competence in the process of teaching English to future tourism specialists. In modern higher education, the preparation of competitive personnel in the tourism industry requires not only professional knowledge and practical skills but also effective communication abilities in foreign languages, especially English, which serves as the international language of tourism and intercultural interaction. The study analyzes the theoretical foundations of professional competence formation and investigates the role of communicative approaches, competency-based education, and professionally oriented English language teaching in tourism education. The research is based on comparative, descriptive, and methodological analyses of contemporary pedagogical and linguistic studies. The findings demonstrate that the integration of professional and communicative competencies significantly improves students’ intercultural communication skills, professional mobility, critical thinking, and practical readiness for international tourism activities. Furthermore, the article highlights the importance of authentic materials, interactive technologies, role-playing methods, situational communication, and digital educational tools in enhancing students’ communicative performance. The study concludes that professionally oriented English language instruction contributes to the development of highly qualified tourism specialists capable of functioning effectively in multilingual and multicultural environments.
