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).

How travel time and cost become substitutes or complement?
Q. If we have travel time and travel cost, under what conditions can they be considered as substitues? Under what conditions can they be considered as complements? Could you please give example in transportation system? Thanks.
Asked by Callnoc - Thu Dec 13 19:26:24 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. When commuting to work people choose mode of transportation bases on a combination of time and cost, Public transportation or car pooling is cheaper than driving alone but takes more time, so people can substitute one for the other. Vacation travel requires time so the more time you have for vacations the more money you will spend on transportation for travel, so time and cost will act as compliments.

How do I get in the Travel Industry with no formal training, just the love of travel?
Q. Looking for a career change and love to travel, especially Hawaii. I have tons of business and management experience, just not in the travel industry. I am aware that it's not really the best paid industry but I'm ready for a change.
Asked by lonee P - Mon Feb 18 14:57:56 2008 - - 4 Answers - 1 Comments

A. A lot of tour operators will take on people without travel industry experience, but have other skills which are relevant. Why not go to evening classes and take an ABTA course. This will help. You are right, it's not the best paid industry, we do it for the love of travel but in all honesty, it has its perks. Good luck!

A. All you have to do is go to your college. You can get either a diploma or a degree, but a degree will better help you to achieve this. I am a travel agent and I graduated in December with my degree. It takes about 2 years, depending on how much time you put into it and how many classes you take. If you want to, you can try to do it between 6 months and a year if you can, but it will be very hard. It will cost you about $10,000 for everything, tuition, books, classes everything. Apply for scholarships, especially if you had great grades in high school. I kept a 4.0 GPA throughout my academic history, and scholarships and grants got me through college and whatever was left over was like a gift, to do as you wish with. I must have… [cont.]
