Glossary:Tourism trip length

The length of tourism trips (involving at least one overnight stay) falls into two categories:

  • long tourism trips are trips with at least four overnight stays;
  • short tourism trips are trips with one to three overnight stays.

The average length of stay for a number of tourism trips is calculated by dividing the total number of nights spent by the total number of tourism trips.
