Four basic elements have been used as criteria for defining travelers and/or tourists. These are: distance, length of stay at the destination, residence of the traveler and purpose of travel.
DISTANCE
A measure that has been used to distinguish travel away from home is the distance traveled on a trip. A trip is defined as “each time a persons goes to a place3 at least 100 miles away from home returns.” Travelers on this basis are individuals who travel at least 100 miles in one direction from home. This definition may be applied in measuring travel by the residents of a country
LENGTH OF STAY
Tourists are temporarily visitors who make at least one overnight stay while exercunists are temporary visitors who do not stay overnight in the country that they visit.
RESIDENCE OF THE TRAVELER
The residence or origin of the traveler is the third basic element of travel. For business and research purposes, it is important to know where people live.
PURPOSE OF TRAVEL
The fourth basic element is the purpose of travel. It can be divided into seven;
1. Visiting friends and relatives.
2. Conventions, seminars and meetings
3. Business
4. Odor recreation- hunting, fishing, boating and camping.
5. Entertainment- sightseeing, theater, sports
6. Personal, family-medical, funeral, wedding
7. Others
