What is the definition of international excursionist?

An international excursionist is a traveler who visits a country other than their own for a short period of time, typically less than 24 hours, without staying overnight.

This means they are not considered tourists or visitors in the traditional sense, as they do not spend a night in the country they are visiting.

Key characteristics:

* Crosses international borders: They travel from their country of residence to another country.

* Short duration: The trip is less than 24 hours, usually for day trips or excursions.

* No overnight stay: They do not spend a night in the destination country.

Examples:

* A group of people taking a day trip to a neighboring country for shopping or sightseeing.

* A cruise ship passenger going ashore for a few hours in a port of call.

* A business traveler attending a one-day conference in another country.

Note: The term "excursionist" is sometimes used interchangeably with "day tripper" or "short-term visitor". However, "international excursionist" specifically refers to someone who travels across international borders for a short period without staying overnight.
