People travel for some different purposes. Some people travel entirely for the purpose of recreation or pleasure on holiday. Some people travel for reasons of health. Other people travel to visit friends or relatives. Still others travel in order to educate themselves in accordance with the old idea that travel is broadening. All of these people are generally considered tourists since the main reason for their trips is recreation. Tourist statistics also include people who are traveling on business. They are business people and government officials on specific tasks as well as people attending meetings or conventions. Others travel for personal business such as shopping, medical or legal things and educational study.
