Hey folks, for DTV holders who arrived after May 1st, what did you select under "purpose of travel" in the TDAC?

I've been in and out multiple times already but this week will be my first time arriving after the TDAC became mandatory.
Answer summary
Community members advise that DTV holders arriving after May 1st can choose 'Tourism' or 'Holiday' as the purpose of travel in the TDAC, with some recommending selecting 'Other' and typing 'DTV'. Overall, the responses suggest flexibility and a focus on tourism-related reasons.
