During the 20th century the meaning of several relevant tourist concepts has undergone major changes. It is partly due to this fact that a significant portion of the terminologies were also used as a synonym. Attempts to define them had already been made between the two World Wars, but a unified conceptual usage has not been happened in the domestic literature. After the World War II, the statistical data releases have changed and with many new – mainly politically induced – social phenomena had to be faced, which further expanded the variability of the terms of tourism. In my work, I make an attempt at exact determining and statistically applying primarily these concepts; and a few new indicators used in the study may help a broader spectrum of investigation of domestic tourism.
