Upon notification that aircraft X was ready to taxi; [trainee] provided control instructions to aircraft X to taxi via bravo; hold short of kilo; and contact ground. Shortly after instructions were provided; inbound flight aircraft Y taxied on alpha; through romeo hotel; without being provided instructions to taxi to its gate; by a ramp controller. Before taxiing; outbound flight aircraft X's pilots noticed that the inbound flight; aircraft Y; was not going to give way; because of this; the pilots of aircraft X waited to taxi until aircraft Y was clear of the intersection.without the situational awareness of aircraft X's pilots; the two aircraft could have made contact.
