This paper investigates the topic of tourism and climate change from a cultural and discourse linguistic perspective. On the basis of Italian and German (online) texts on current tourism trends and selected examples of social media communication highlighting the influence of climate change on tourism, we document a set of linguistic practices revealing intercultural patterns and stereotypes. The text illustrates the importance of language and the potential of linguistic pragmatic analyses for exploring intercultural relations and established social values, which are reflected as patterns in both factual texts and emotional online debates.

Abstract
This paper investigates the topic of tourism and climate change from a cultural and discourse linguistic perspective. On the basis of Italian and German (online) texts on current tourism trends and selected examples of social media communication highlighting the influence of climate change on tourism, we document a set of linguistic practices revealing intercultural patterns and stereotypes. The text illustrates the importance of language and the potential of linguistic pragmatic analyses for exploring intercultural relations and established social values, which are reflected as patterns in both factual texts and emotional online debates.
