A few of relations were calculated, such as relation between frequency of commercial and non-commercial services consuming and motives for leisure, preferences for leisure services paid, and value appreciated by a customer. The correlation between practitioners to spend leisure time at home, not far and far from home (home-based, relax-based and trip-based) and their preferences to different kind of leisure services was measured.
