This paper deals with anglicisms in the German language in tourism. Nowadays, the importance of tourism is being discussed very intensively and accordingly the language in tourism has become one of the significant topics in the field of linguistic research. Firstly, with regard to the specific features of the language in tourism, the status of a language in tourism as the language for specific purposes was determined. Since the language in tourism has been exposed to an increasingly intense global English influence, the term „anglicism‟ has been defined in the paper. The aim of the paper is to analyze the formation of complex and shortened anglicisms in the German language in tourism, and to emphasize the recognizable features such as language economy and a very high number of hybrid compounds. Among hybrid compounds a very remarkable part is built by phrasal compounds which is an evident result of the English influence. The analyzed corpus consists of three main subcorpora - subcorpus of the catalogues, journals, professional and scientific publications.
