Purpose of trip

A tourist in the booth.

The purpose of visit concerns the reason why an entrant wishes to enter Arstotzka. It is listed on entry permits and access permits, and the verbal part is recorded in the audio transcript.

When a procedurally generated entrant enters the booth, the inspector asks them "What is the purpose of your trip?" and the entrant replies using one of the statements below. They may also say something that conflicts with their documents, prompting further dialog options, but will always be cleared later. However, you must highlight it in the audio transcript to avoid a discrepancy.
