This essay sheds light on the benefits of having one universal language, identifies the problems with communication barriers and language barriers, and elucidates how the tourism industry is adversely affected by language differences. The growing demand for prospective workforce participants, students, to be bilingual has convinced school districts to force students to enroll in language classes which takes away time that they could otherwise utilize to learn pragmatic skills if communication was parred down to a single universal language. Additionally, the existence of language barriers limit a company's hiring options to solely employees who are fluent in the company's native language. Moreover, language barriers elicit communication inefficiencies, especially since communication between foreign business parties is eminently stifled by language barriers when translators are needed to translate dialogue. Implementing a universal language would not only eliminate the language barriers and allow people to be able to qualify to potentially earn a job in their respective niche field any in the world, but would also boost product sales since products, such as movies and books, can more easily be understand. The tourism industry cannot reach it apex and maximum its revenue potential when foreigners cannot effectively communicate when visiting foreign countries. This causes businesses to miss out on securing the lifetime values of prospective customers. Communication and language barriers pervade ample foreign markets and are unfortunately disadvantageous to economic growth, employment, and the standard of living.
