回 is used for occurrences, often interchangeable with 次, but 趟 adds the sense of going and coming back.

Usage notes

Collocations

趟 is specifically for trips, visits, or movements that involve a journey; do not use it for abstract occurrences like 一次机会.

Common mistakes

Learners often misuse 趟 for generic times; use 次 for most 'number of times' unless a physical trip is clearly implied.
