visitors
People dropping by
Visitors are people who come to a place temporarily—guests at your home, tourists at a landmark, patients' friends at a hospital.
The word emphasizes that they don't belong there permanently: We're expecting visitors this weekend.
In sports, the visiting team plays away from home.
Website visitors are users who access a site: The page gets thousands of visitors daily.
