Mobility profiles different nations were examined based such characteristics as mobility rate, radius gyration, diversity destinations, inflow–outflow balance. Temporal disclose universally valid seasons increased particular character travels nations. Our analysis community structure network reveals spatially cohesive regions that follow regional division world. We validate our result using tourism statistics models provided other authors argue is exceptionally useful understanding quantifying patterns.
