Travel is the change in location of people on a trip, or the process of time involved in a person or object moving from one location to another. Reasons for travel include:

  • Tourism—travel for recreation. This may apply to the travel itself or the travel may just be the necessary investment to arrive at a desired location.
  • Visiting friends and family
  • Trade
  • Commuting

The word originates from the Middle English word travailen ("to toil"), which comes from the French word travailler ("travail").
