If the tourist remains in the destination for at least one night, then that person is classified as stayover. If the trip does not incorporate at least one overnight, then the term excursionist is commonly employed. However the used of overnight stay is significant improvement over the former criterion of a minimum 24-hour stay, which proved to be both arbitrary and extremely difficult to apply, given that is required knowing the exact times of arrival and departure. Cruise ship excursionist and cross-border shopper are example of excursionists. One obvious implication is the excursionists‟ lack of need for overnight accommodation within a destination.
