This component of EBOPS 2010 differs from most internationally traded services in that it is transactor-based. Unlike most services in EBOPS, travel is not a specific product; rather, it encompasses a range of goods and services consumed by non-residents in the economy that they visit. Travel is defined as covering goods and services for own use or to be given away, acquired from an economy, by non-residents during visits to that economy. It covers stays of any length, provided that there is no change in residence.Travel includes goods and services acquired by persons undertaking study or medical care while outside the territory of residence. It also includes acquisitions of goods and services by seasonal, border and other short-term workers in the economy of employment.The goods and services may be purchased by the persons concerned or by another party on their behalf; for example, business travel may be paid for or reimbursed by an employer; tuition and living costs of a student may be paid by a  overnment; and health costs may be paid or reimbursed by a Government or insurer. Goods and services supplied by the producer without charge are also included, for example, tuition and board provided by a university.The most common goods and services entered under travel are accommodation, food, beverages and transport purchased within the economy visited (all of which are consumed in the supplying economy). Gifts, souvenirs and other articles that are purchased for own use and that may be taken out of the economies visited are also included.In line with the accrual principle, goods and services acquired during the visit, but paid for earlier or later, are included in travel. Goods and services may be acquired by being paid for by the person going abroad, paid for on his or her behalf, provided without a quid pro quo (for example, free room and board received: in such a case, there is also a corresponding transfer) or produced on own account (as in some cases of ownership of real estate and time-share accommodation).The goods and services for own use or to be given away, purchased by or provided to the non-resident while on the trip that would otherwise be classified under another item, such as postal services, telecommunications, and transport, are included in travel. This includes transport within a particular economy being visited where such transport is provided by carriers resident in that economy but excludes the international carriage of persons, which is covered in passenger services under transport services. Also excluded are goods purchased for resale in the resident's own economy or in a third economy. The acquisition of valuables (such as jewellery and expensive art), consumer durable goods (such as cars and electronic goods) and other consumer purchases for own use that is in excess of customs thresholds, are excluded. These goods are included in general merchandise.Travel excludes the acquisition of goods and services by diplomats, consular staff, military personnel, etc., and their dependants in the territory in which they are posted (included in Government goods and services n.i.e.).
