in Oviedo, Spain 'Travel' is the movement of people between relatively distant geographical
locations for any purpose and any duration, with or without any means of
transport. Travel also includes relatively short[In any case, less that a
year.] stays between successive movements. Movements between locations
requiring only a few minutes are not considered as travel. As an activity,
"travel" also covers all the activities performed during a travel (movement). Travel is a wider concept than a trip. A round trip is a particular type of
travel whereby a person moves from his/her usual residence to one or several
distant locations and returns. A trip can also be part of a round trip. Travel is most commonly done for recreation or to visit friends and family
(generally as part of tourism), for business or for commuting; but may be for
numerous other reasons, such as health care, 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 (domestic) 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").[{{cite web
