The number of visits to friends and relatives remained stable from 1994 to 1995. However, there was a dramatic growth in the number over the next four years. The period from 1994 to 1998 experienced a fluctuation in the number of other reasons and it reached its lowest point at 954 in 1995.
From 1994 to 1998, holiday had the highest number among the four reasons. From 1994 to 1996, business occupied the second place, but after that, the number of business was slightly lower than that of visits to friends and relatives. Comparatively, other reasons had the smallest number in the four reasons over the five years. In 1998, the number of holiday was about 20 times as much as that of other reasons.
