What term refers to international travel arrival or departure points?

• A. Hub city
• B. Transit city
• C. Gateway
• D. Port of entry

Answer: (C)

In travel terminology, a gateway is the main international entry or exit point for a country or region. It’s the city or airport where international travelers first arrive or depart and where long-haul flights connect to the domestic network. That’s why it’s the best fit for describing international travel arrival or departure points.

A hub city describes an airport that concentrates connections across many routes, emphasizing network efficiency rather than being the primary entry point. A transit city refers to a place where passengers transfer to another flight, not necessarily an entry point to a country. A port of entry is a legal term for where people and goods are inspected upon arrival, but in common travel industry usage, gateway more directly captures the idea of the main international entry/exit point.
