The problem is solved to show the originality of rhetorical means in an argumentative statement, ways of creating panorama, which stimulates the visual nature of the image are indicated. A general idea of the ways of creating a panoramic image of nature achieved using epithets and metaphors is given. Metaphors are the main text-forming tool that allows you to create laconic texts. This is a huge advantage, given today’s readers’ dislike for long texts. Panoramic allows the author to appeal to the emotions of the reader, evoking imaginative associations, and most importantly, the desire to see spectacular landscapes with his own eyes. Using the example of text fragments, the functions of expressive means in the verbalization of concepts and in argumentation in general are demonstrated. The article presents fragments of the texts that make it possible to conclude that expressive means are an excellent means of influencing the addressees ‒ readers, they have a huge potential for imagery and, therefore, the ability to cause an emotional-evaluative reaction of the addressee of speech. Authors of texts must consider this advantage when talking about promising tourist destinations in the conditions of closed borders. The Vokrug Sveta magazine was chosen as an empirical basis. Empirical search criteria are time-limited (January ‒ June 2020). The article is intended for graduate students, masters, bachelors of journalism departments.
