Abstrakt: Using secondary data on Hong Kong inbound tourism over an extended period prepandemic (1993 to 2017), this study examines the incidence and prevalence of volatility and stability, respectively across visitor profiles and behavioural characteristics. Distinct patterns are evident between short and long-haul markets when classified on the basis of distance travelled and applicable flight durations. It is found that achieving stable arrivals relies on settled conditions in both the destination and the country or territory of origin. This exploration of volatility shows that the actions of competing destinations that are readily accessible from short-haul source markets impact substantially on visitor activities and expenditures.
