The creator

Seven years to turn a barrier into a bridge.

Manoel M. Barreto is the creator of TURISMY — the lingua franca of tourism. He spent 7 years of research designing a simple, logical and human language, able to connect travelers and tourism professionals of any nationality.

Not to replace any language, but to make a first conversation possible for everyone.

“Every great journey begins with a first conversation. Now, that conversation can be in TURISMY.”

Author of “REGLES TURISMY — Manual de Regras” (the rule book), the first volume of the LIBROS TURISMY collection, an international library dedicated to the language.

The traveler's pain

You crossed the world — and still went silent at the counter: pointing at the menu, unable to haggle, smiling without understanding.

The language barrier steals the best part of the trip. Years studying a difficult language, and when the moment comes, the words just won't come.

The turning point

What if there were a language made just for traveling?

There is: TURISMY. A lingua franca with just over fifteen hundred words, the Latin alphabet, no accents and a grammar so logical that you learn it from scratch — one sentence at a time.
