Interviewer instructions
The codes are :


leisure ....................................1 study .....................................5
business .................................2 sports ....................................6
pilgrimage ..............................3 medical ..................................7
social function ........................4 other ......................................9



If there is more than one purpose involved, the most important one will be recorded. Thus, if a person makes a business trip and his family accompanies him to enjoy a vacation, the purpose which is considered more important by the household will have to be ascertained and recorded. The question may be asked: would the tour have been undertaken if business was the only motive? or, Would the tour have been undertaken if leisure were the only purpose? For “return” journey, the same purpose code will be give as for “outward” journey.
