After a brief introduction of ‘stance’ as a term and its potential importance in the field of tourism, the review highlights some of the main aspects of ‘Stance devices in tourism related research articles’, a recent publication authored by Francisco Álvarez-Gil. The motivation for this publication is briefly explained, followed by a brief summary of the main content and a summary of each chapter. The limitations mentioned by the author are briefly noted with an additional point about how the book could serve the language-teaching community if taken up by language teachers of English for tourism and business studies.
