Duration of Stay
Duration of stay refers to the total length of time a person spends at a particular location, such as a hotel, country, or event. It’s typically measured from the date of arrival to the date of departure. For example, if someone checks into a hotel on Monday and leaves on Friday, their stay is four nights. This concept is important for planning, billing, and understanding travel patterns. It helps businesses and authorities manage resources and compliance with visas or permits, and provides a clear record of how long someone has been at a specific place.
