What type of travel is non-discretionary where the traveler does not choose the destination?

  1. Business travel

  2. Psychocentric travel

  3. VFR travel

  4. Recreational travel

The correct answer is: Business travel

Non-discretionary travel refers to a type of travel that is necessary and cannot be postponed or avoided. This type of travel is typically for a specific purpose and destination, and the traveler does not have the choice to select a different location. Option A, business travel, fits this criteria as it is often required for work or business purposes and the destination is determined by the employer. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not involve a specific purpose or predetermined destination, and the traveler has the choice to select their desired location. Psychocentric travel (B) refers to travel to familiar and comfortable destinations, VFR travel (C) stands for "visiting friends and relatives" and is undertaken for personal reasons, and recreational travel (D) is for leisure and recreation purposes.
