Inbound tourism is a rapidly growing industry in Japan, with the number of foreign visitors to Japan increasing rapidly in the last few years. As the industry and the revenue it creates grows, it follows that more students graduating from universities in Japan will find employment in tourism related industries. As a faculty that attracts students looking to work in fields in which they can utilise their English ability and intercultural understanding, the tourism industry will be a career path for a significant number of students graduating from the Faculty of International Studies and Liberal Arts of Momoyama Gakuin University. In order to better prepare students to find employment in this field, it is worth considering the viability of incorporating English for specific purposes（ESP）classes focusing on tourism to our current English language curriculum. However, deciding on suitable materials and educational approaches for ESP classes is not a simple matter. There are many factors to consider such as the ability and interests of the students, the needs of the industry, and the scope of the course. In this research paper, various examples of ESP for tourism materials and curriculum design from both Japan, and Thailand, a country with a thriving tourism industry, will be analysed, with the hope that they will be valid points of reference if such classes are to be offered at Momoyama Gakuin University in the future.
