Reaching the destination
Arriving is the act of reaching a destination or point in time.
You speak of arriving at a place, arriving at a conclusion, or arriving at a moment: The guests are arriving now.
To say someone has arrived suggests they've achieved success or recognition: After years of struggle, she had finally arrived.
