Introduction to Tourism: Chapter III Tourists: What are the characteristics of the latest definition of tourists by the World Tourism Organization?

The basic characteristics of this definition are:

1. All tourists included in the tourist statistics are collectively called "tourists".

2. According to the length of stay in the tourist destination, that is, whether to stay overnight, tourists are further divided into "overnight tourists" and "day tourists" who don't stay overnight. It is suggested that these two different types of tourists need to be counted separately.

3. Whether tourists belong to tourists should be defined according to their country of residence or permanent residence, not their nationality.

4. According to the designated purpose of the visit, define whether the tourist belongs to the tourists who should be included in the tourist statistics.

[Hint] When defining tourists (that is, tourists mentioned in tourism statistics), technical indicators usually involve leaving the place of residence.
