"Travel behaviour" is a good term when discussing people's habits, and you may also need to distinguish "leisure travel" from people who commute to work (referred to as travel-rate index, which is the amount of time spent travelling to work)

Hi Merry, Yes, I think it is travel rate (I was trying to say that it is not travel-rate index). However, you need to distinguish it at some point from commuter travel, so if there is no explanation elsewhere in your text, I would use "leisure travel rate" |

Asker: Emma: This was very helpful. So, it's not travel rate (which refers to commuter travel time). I use travel behavior in other situations in this report, but this needs to be a noun phrase, as I noted in my response above to Dekken. Any other ideas? Maybe foreign travel rate, that would clearly distinguish it from commuter travel.
Asker: Thank you for your help. I'm opting to use Travel Rate because I need a noun phrase and the next-best suggestion, travel frequency, would not, I think, be expressed in terms of a % of the population, which is what the results in this study show.
