Resumo

In the highly globalised world we all belong to, constant contacts among cultures, identities, and languages are on the increase. Such contacts have become inevitable and mainly result from travelling practices that seem to be more intensive than ever before. English, as the lingua franca of today’s world, is undoubtedly the language people generally rely on when travelling, feeling rather comfortable and expecting, to a certain extent, that it is via English they will achieve success in communication in the easiest way. Highlighting its role in communication conducted on travels, this paper aims to shine some light on the characteristics of English used in such contexts, as well as to explore the link between the travels English on the one hand and the phenomena of Globish and World Englishes on the other hand.
