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 done 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
Old French word travailler ("travail"). A person who travels is called a traveler (
U.S.) or traveller (
UK).
