Travel that is undertaken for private or non-business reasons is not business travel. A journey is only business travel where it is necessary travel undertaken for business reasons, see EIM32180.

Where travel is for both business and private reasons it is not business travel if it is substantially for private reasons, see EIM32320.

EIM32181 and EIM32182 provide examples of private travel. EIM32321 to EIM32325 are examples of travel for both business and private reasons.
