Abstract
In Unit 1, we saw how people will only consider travelling for pleasure if circumstances allow or encourage them to do so. Above all, they need adequate time and money in order to travel. But pleasure travel is only one form of tourism. A second kind is travel out of obligation. Business people, for example, have to travel to meet the needs of their companies. In doing so, they may also find time to enjoy themselves, going to the theatre, or to restaurants and other places of entertainment. It is impossible to separate the ‘work’ aspects of travel from the ‘pleasure’ aspects, and so business travel is also included in tourism statistics.
