| Travel is the change in location of
people on a trip through the means of transport from one location to another.
Travel is most commonly for recreation (as part of tourism or to visit
friends and family), for business or for commuting; but may be for numerous
other reasons, such as migration, fleeing war, etc. Travel may occur by
walking or human-powered mode, or through mechanical vehicles, either as
private or public transport.
Travel may be local, regional, national
or international. In some countries, non-local internal travel may require
an internal passport, while international travel typically requires a passport
and visa.
The word originates from the Middle
English word travailen ("to toil"), which comes from the Anglo-French word
travailler ("travail"). A person who travels is called a traveler (US)
or traveller (UK). |
