Tourists are the main body of tourism and the basic elements of the three major elements of tourism. Without tourists, natural tourism cannot be realized. Tourists, literally, are tourists, that is, people engaged in tourism activities.

Write "tourists" in English. It means that a person travels out of curiosity. However, when counting the number of tourists, a difficult problem arises: who are the tourists? Who is not a tourist?

For example, if a person leaves his place of residence for sightseeing in a different place and stays for more than 24 hours, this situation is regarded as a tourist, which seems beyond reproach; But another person left his unit or home, stayed in the city or countryside where he lived for a few hours, and returned to his place of residence that evening.

Does this situation count as a tourist? According to our opinion, he is a tourist, but he is not recognized when the number of tourists is counted internationally. Therefore, there are standards for how to distinguish between tourists and non-tourists.

Knowledge expansion:

Domestic tourists refer to those who spend more than 24 hours but less than one year in a certain destination in their country. Their purpose is entertainment, vacation, sports, business, meetings, study, visiting relatives and friends, health or religion. Domestic short-distance tourists refer to people who stay in tourist destinations for no more than 24 hours for any of the above purposes.

The earliest definition of international tourism was put forward by the Statistical Committee of the League of Nations in 1937. That is, "people who have left their country of residence to visit another country for more than 24 hours". According to this standard definition, so-called businessmen, government officials and athletes are also foreign tourists.

Because before that, some people (such as Guinier) thought that a person "went to another country from his usual place and stayed there for a short time, whether he (she) went for entertainment or not, whether he (she) spent money there or not, he (she) was a foreign tourist". Because of this definition, it avoids explaining the purpose of tourism and does not explain the meaning of "short time".

In addition, passengers who go abroad to work, settle down, study, settle in border areas or temporarily transit without stopping are also abandoned, even if the time exceeds 24 hours, they are not counted in the tourist statistics.
