Inbound travel

Inbound travel is all incoming international tourist traffic to a country of destination. Inbound tourists are foreign visitors who arrive in a country other than their country of residence for a period of up to 12 months for business, leisure, and other purposes.

Inbound tour operators, destination management companies, and other travel organizations make travel arrangements in the host country for tourists coming from abroad (other tour operator categories include outbound, domestic, and ground).

An inbound flight is one arriving at the airport of destination, as opposed to outbound flights, which depart from an airport.
