What is the definition of travel by international organizations?

1950, the International Joint Office Travel Organization (iuoto) revised the above definition, including regarding students who travel in the form of study as tourists, and defined a new tourist type "international short-distance tourists" (usually translated as "short-distance international tourists" or "one-day international tourists"). "Short-distance international tourists" refer to people who visit another country for no more than 24 hours. In addition, iuoto also defines transit passengers, that is, people who pass through a country without legal stay, no matter how long they stay in the country. With the rapid development of post-modern tourism after the end of World War II, the issue of unifying the statistical caliber of tourism in all countries of the world has begun to attract the attention of relevant international organizations and countries around the world. Under the active promotion of the International Union of Official Tourism Organizations (now the predecessor of wto), the International Travel and Tourism Conference (also known as Rome Conference) held by the United Nations in Rome in 1963 revised and supplemented the above definition. For the needs of statistical work, the meeting proposed to adopt the general concept of "tourists", and then distinguish between tourists who stay for more than 24 hours and tourists who stay for less than 24 hours. This division corresponds to the division method of tourists and short-distance tourists made by iuoto in 1950, but the words are different. And continue to recognize the five categories of people who are not tourists as stipulated by the Statistical Committee of the Provisional League of Nations. The specific definition is as follows: a tourist refers to a person who visits a country other than his habitual residence for any reason except obtaining paid employment. This concept has three important characteristics: first, it clearly distinguishes between tourists and people who have permanently settled or worked in a certain country. When explaining overnight visitors, two purposes are specified: leisure and business. Secondly, it is decided that the classification of tourists depends not on the nationality of tourists, but on the country where tourists live. Thirdly, tourists are divided into sightseeing tourists and sightseeing tourists according to whether their stay time exceeds 24 hours. 199 1 The expert group of the United Nations Statistical Commission suggested that tourists should be changed to "one-day tourists".
