In the tourism and air travel industry, a stopover generally refers to a layover lasting more than 24 hours and can sometimes extend to 48 or 72 hours. This option is frequently offered by travel agencies on long-haul flights, adding value and interest to the journey to the final destination. Cities like Singapore, Dubai, or Qatar are often suggested as stopover destinations for a short stay before or after the main destination. These stopover cities are usually major air hubs where layovers are commonplace.
