The paper describes some lexicographical dilemmas related to the selection andediting of entries for a Dictionary of Tourism Terminology. As tourism is amarkedly composite activity, its terminology arises not only within tourism in the strict sense of the word, i.e. the tourism industry and infrastructure,but also in many other fields, such as history, geography, art history, art, architecture and transport. The authors discuss some of the semantic changes that occur in the processes of (de)terminologisation with the transition of terms from other areas into the discourse of tourism and its specialised language and vice versa.
