Obviously, this will include travel opportunities. The “travel business,” then, becomes part of the “tourist business” in instances where the motive for traveling is to “be a tourist.”

The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...
