With the purpose to design a theme-based syllabus for teaching English for tourism purposes to improve the lack of knowledge on the language, a qualitative research was carried out with the use of methods such as analysis, synthesis and hermeneutics, and documentary review to teach English for Tourism Purposes (ETP) join with previous research by the author including touristic workers from “Playa Almendro” resort in Tonsupa Esmeraldas in a previous exploration to develop a supporting material for teaching English, which is a great disadvantage in the hospitality and tourism field. To collect the data, the instrument designed was a guide for the documentary review and the booklet for the teaching of ETP from Cordova (2018). The data obtained from the application of the documentary review was tabulated manually. The facts were taken to figures and tables using the Microsoft Excel program. The results obtained that the tourist workers did not have knowledge of the vocabulary, specific phrases, and communicative functions that it is caused by the lack of resources, therefore the creation of a booklet and syllabus developed for the tourist workers in order to achieve the English process at their jobs. It is concluded that the creation of a theme- based syllabus on training themes related to the area will improve the process to develop future research that can be applied in a formal course.
