Yes, Rosana I knew you understood it....just wanted to be sure that in context that was what we are talking about
Rosana M. (asker) Dec 4, 2011:
Hi, Ana and Donna,
I understood what it meant, but I thought there should be a way to say it that was used by the people in the trade. Thank you for your messages!
Ana Crespo Dec 3, 2011:
Hello Rosana and Donna-

That is the idea I got as well. I was wondering if it could be said that 'Bahia is the main importer and exporter of tourists in North and Northeastern Brazil'. However, I am not sure importer and exporter may be used for tourists or if there are better terms.

Donna Sandin Dec 3, 2011:
maybe we need a little more context? The idea must be that Bahia sends the most people to other destinations and receives the most visitors of any part of Brazil's North/Northeast?

outbound and inbound hub/center

in tourism terminology, these are the terms they use......take a look at these"

Turismo receptivo corresponde a oferta do conjunto de serviços, bens, atrativos, infra-estrutura, etc., disponibilizados aos turistas com o objetivo de satisfazer as expectativas quando realizou a escolha do produto turistico. Turismo receptivo é exatamente o inverso do turismo emissivo, pois é o conjunto turistivo existente no local que recebe o turista e que lhe é oferecido.

The United Nations classified three forms of tourism in 1994 in its Recommendations on Tourism Statistics: Domestic tourism, which involves residents of the given country traveling only within this country; Inbound tourism, involving non-residents traveling in the given country; and Outbound tourism, involving residents traveling in another country. So from a U.S. perspective when an American goes on a trip to France that's an example of outbound tourism.

agree Donna Sandin : I agree if "hub" is used and it's clear that they are talking about tourists

departure and arrival point

I think this might work quite well in the context, as they are talking about travellers.

Bahia is the main departure and arrival point for the North/North-East...

I don't think you can import and export people (at least not any more :-))
Note from asker:
Thank you, Gilla! I have included your suggestion in the glossary.
