Are you a visitor or a tourist?

You can be both!

𝗟𝗢𝗩𝗘 𝗪𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗡 𝗩𝗜𝗦𝗔𝗬𝗔𝗦: 𝗧𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗠 𝗜𝗡 𝗡𝗨𝗠𝗕𝗘𝗥𝗦 📈❤️✨

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between a visitor and a tourist in tourism vocabulary? ⁉️🤔🤯

In 2024, DOTVI consolidated from all tourism destinations in the region a total of 5.9 million tourists or overnight visitors, and 14.26 million same-day visitor arrivals. The biggest contributors to these influxes are Boracay Island in Malay, Aklan and the Province of Iloilo, respectively!

In the tourism industry, "visitor" is the term used to refer to its clients or customers, and is differentiated based on how they engage in tourism activities:
👉 𝙏𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙩 (𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙤𝙧) is a visitor who stays at least one night in a collective or private accommodation in the destination visited.
👉 𝙎𝙖𝙢𝙚-𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙤𝙧 is a visitor who does not spend the night in a collective or private accommodation in the destination visited. They are also known as "excursionist or day tripper".

Amazing, right? Two terms, two figures that serve different meanings and purposes—but both are vital for tourism growth.

So the next time you explore attractions and destinations in the region, don’t be confused if someone calls you a visitor or a tourist… because you can definitely be both!
