Abstract

This paper aims to describe the strategies used by translators in solving these challenges when translating academic texts on tourism from English into Croatian, and to illustrate them with examples taken from papers published simultaneously in Croatian and English in Acta Turistica over the period of 30 years of publishing this scientific journal that is affiliated with the Faculty of Economics & Business of the University of Zagreb. Finally, the paper intends to suggest possible guidelines for the standardization of Croatian tourism-related terminology.
