Welcome to the deck on Travel and Tourism. We'll start by learning vocabulary for different types of holidays and accommodation. Then, we'll practice using the future tense to talk about your holiday plans, and the perfect tense to describe a holiday you've been on. Finally, we'll cover some useful phrases for booking rooms and buying tickets.

Let's begin with different types of holidays. In German, a holiday is 'der Urlaub'. A popular type is a beach holiday, 'der Strandurlaub'. If you prefer exploring a city, you might take a city break, 'die Städtereise'. For those who enjoy the mountains, there's a hiking holiday, 'der Wanderurlaub', or a skiing holiday, 'der Skiurlaub'.
