thanks for coming

Host's goodbye phrase

Thanks for coming is a conventional phrase of appreciation offered to guests or attendees, typically as they depart: Thanks for coming to the party.

It acknowledges that someone made the effort to show up.

The phrase doubles as a dismissal when said pointedly: Well, thanks for coming—signaling that a meeting or visit is over.
