A trip implies a transfer.
Travel is the action and effect of traveling (moving from one place to another by any means of locomotion). The concept is used to name the transfer itself, the period in which said transfer is made and the trip to anywhere.
If we want to know the etymological origin of the term we have to discover that it is found in Catalan. Thus, specifically, we can know that it emanates from the word viatge , which in turn comes from the Latin word via , which can be translated as "way."
For example: "I have a three-hour plane trip before I get to my parents' house," "In fifteen days, I'm going on a trip and I don't plan to answer any work calls," "I have to make four more trips before finish the day."
Reasons for a trip
Travel involves a change in people's location, which can be done on foot or through any means of transportation (a motor vehicle, a bicycle, an animal). As for the reasons for a trip, they can be very varied: there are trips that are made for leisure (those linked to tourism ), others that are carried out for social or family reasons (visiting an aunt or a friend) and some that They are carried out for academic or work reasons (a study trip, attendance at a business meeting).
In the same way, it is also important to establish that, fundamentally when it comes to leisure travel , it can be undertaken in very different ways. Thus, for example, there are people who prefer to carry them out as a backpacker, that is, having a backpack as their only luggage, walking a lot and staying in the accommodations they find along the way.
However, there are also people who prefer to visit other corners of the planet by opting for closed tourist packages in which the agencies have found both the tickets for the means of transport they are going to use and the hotels where they are going to stay or the guided tours. .
And all this without overlooking the fact that in recent years, and in the wealthiest sectors of society, trips to resorts have become fashionable. That is, hotels where beauty treatments are offered as they have facilities such as jacuzzis or spas.
Extensive trips are usually made by plane.
The term
Trips can begin with a return date already established or, at least, estimated. That is the usual case of vacations : "My sister goes on a trip next Friday to see the Pyramids and returns at the end of the month," "I already bought the tickets for the trip: we left on the 4th and returned on the 19th."
Other trips, however, do not have a return date, such as migrations . People who must travel to flee a war conflict or who decide to move to settle in a foreign country do not know when they will return to the land of departure or may even never return.
travel book
In addition to all the above, we could point out that there is also what is known as travel books .
These are publications in which the authors narrate step by step the experiences they have had on one of their trips, the places they have visited... They usually incorporate both photographs and maps or plans.
