leisure travel

Holidays by choice

Leisure travel is travel undertaken for pleasure, relaxation, or personal enrichment rather than for work or obligation.

It encompasses vacations, sightseeing, visiting friends and family, and recreational trips: The airline makes most of its money from leisure travel during summer months.

The term often appears in contrast to business travel when discussing tourism economics or travel industry trends.
