Väliskülaliste

Väliskülaliste is an Estonian term that translates to "foreign guests" or "international visitors." It is commonly used in various contexts, including tourism, diplomacy, and cultural exchange.

In the tourism sector, väliskülaliste refers to individuals visiting Estonia from other countries. This term encompasses a broad range of travelers, from leisure tourists and business travelers to those attending conferences or events. Estonia actively promotes itself as a tourist destination, aiming to attract a diverse group of väliskülaliste to experience its natural landscapes, historical cities, and cultural offerings.

The term also applies to official delegations or dignitaries visiting Estonia from abroad. These väliskülaliste are often received by government officials, participate in diplomatic meetings, and engage in cultural exchanges. Their visits aim to strengthen bilateral relations, foster international cooperation, and promote mutual understanding.

In broader social and cultural contexts, väliskülaliste can include any individuals from outside Estonia who are temporarily present in the country for various reasons, such as students on exchange programs, researchers, artists, or participants in international workshops. The term emphasizes their temporary status as visitors from beyond Estonia's borders.
