Expatriates are not referred to as tourists because they are individuals who have chosen to live and work in a foreign country for an extended period of time, often for professional or personal reasons. They typically have a more permanent or long-term status in the country, as opposed to tourists who visit a country for a short period of time for leisure or vacation purposes. Expatriates often have a deeper understanding and connection to the local culture, language, and community, and may have a different set of needs and experiences compared to tourists. Additionally, expatriates may have legal residency status in the country they are living in, while tourists are typically visiting on a temporary basis.

Expatriates are not referred to as tourists because:
1. Length of Stay:
- Expatriates typically stay in a foreign country for an extended period, usually for several years or more.
- Tourists, on the other hand, usually visit for a short duration, typically ranging from a few days to a few weeks.
2. Purpose of Visit:
- Expatriates move to a foreign country primarily for employment, educational, or professional reasons.
- Tourists visit for leisure, recreation, or personal interest.
3. Residence Status:
- Expatriates often obtain work permits, visas, or other forms of legal residency that allow them to live and work in the host country.
- Tourists usually only have short-term visas or do not require visas for shorter stays.
4. Integration:
- Expatriates tend to integrate into the local culture and society, often learning the language, establishing social connections, and adopting aspects of the local lifestyle.
- Tourists generally have limited interaction with the local community and primarily engage in activities catered to visitors.
5. Economic Impact:
- Expatriates contribute to the local economy by paying taxes, supporting businesses, and investing in the host country.
- Tourists primarily spend money on services and goods related to their vacation, but their economic impact is usually temporary.
6. Official Definition:
- The International Monetary Fund (IMF) defines an expatriate as "a person residing in a country other than his or her home country for a period exceeding one year." This definition differentiates expatriates from tourists.
