Abstract

The paper consists of the origin, definition and concepts of semiotics from 3 semantics Picrce, Saussure and Barthes. The concepts from these semantics shows a clear picture of giving the meaning in symbols related to society and environment or what is around the human also shows that culture plays a major role influencing the broad definition of the meaning the symbol. Nevertheless, this paper also offers the story of semiotics with tourism through an interpretation that has the identity to help developing cities, countries, and tourist destination through various symbols such as logos, language formats, signage, souvenirs, including mascots and lucky dolls.
