Summary/Abstract: Ecotourism has developed as a fast growing sector within tourism industry, promoting concepts as conservation, sustainable travel, environmental and cultural awareness. Therefore, a new type of discourse has evolved within tourism discourse, namely ecotourism discourse or 'greenspeak'. Our aim is to analyze ecotourism language, identify specific linguistic patterns, and observe various discursive interactions. Ecotourism language exhibits a mix of discursive features related to moralizing, cultural, environmental, romantic and picturesque discourse.
