This research aims to describe the semantic relationships and structure of modern English terminology in the hotel industry using a systematic approach and a semantic criterion. The analysis identified four semantic fields reflecting the main aspects of hotel business activity: 1) infrastructure of the hotel complex; 2) hotel management; 3) personnel and clients of the hotel industry; 4) operational processes. Each field is structured into semantic-thematic and lexico-semantic subgroups. Quantitative analysis revealed an uneven distribution of terms across the fields, with the highest concentration in the area of infrastructure, reflecting the industry's dynamic development and the introduction of innovative technologies. The research results can be applied in developing specialized dictionaries, educational materials, and in translation practice.
