Glossary:Arrival of tourist at a tourist accommodation establishment

This is the stable Version.

See arrival disambiguation page for other meanings of arrival.

Within the context of European Union (EU) tourism statistics, an arrival is defined as a tourist who arrives at a tourist accommodation establishment (rented accommodation) or at a non-rented accommodation; in the scope of the Tourism Regulation, however, no data for the latter are collected.

The tourist can be either a resident or a non-resident of the country where the establishment is located; no age limit is applied: children are counted as well as adults, even in the case when the overnight stays of children might be free of charge.
