Travel is the relocation of individuals between different geographical locations. Travel can be accomplished by car, bike, foot, train, plane, bus, boat, horseback, skis or any other mode of transportation and is one way or another usually traveled. A traveler is said to be traveling when he moves from one place to another. Travel is also referred as commutation, trade or exchange of services between persons, organizations or places. The most common modes of travel are air, sea and land.

Air travel is an important mode of travel that involves traveling from one place to another. It could be either local or international. Air travel is a convenient way of transporting from one place to another. Airlines like Delta Airlines, US Airways, United Airlines, Continental Airlines, Lufthansa Airlines, Air Canada and Alaska Airlines offer air journey. For a longer journey, a railway train is used as one of the ways of travel.

Sea travel is also a mode of travel, which is a very difficult and a painful process for travelers as it involves a long voyage across the water. The ultimate destination of such a journey is normally a distant one place. In short, it involves sea travel from one place to another. To get across this sea journey, ships are used that carry cargo and passengers. Oceanic cruises are also one of the famous modes of travel that takes one across the ocean.

Land travels are the easiest modes of travel as they do not involve any kind of expenditure like the ones that come up with air and water traveling. Still, a lot of labor is put into it as land travel needs a lot of preparations and arrangements in order to get from one place to another. In short, land traveling is a lot slower than the other types of travel. Airlines like Continental Airlines, United Airlines, US Airways and Continental Caribbean offer air travel. There are other airlines that offer land and air journey like British Airways, Air Canada, Air New Zealand and Cathay Pacific Airlines.

One of the most popular forms of travel is tourism. Tourism refers to the business of promoting a certain place. A tourist can promote any place by spending money on various marketing methods like advertisement, travel packages, tour and accommodation arrangements and many more. It is one of the most important aspects of the tourism industry and contributes a lot towards the development of the economy of a country. Many countries have spent millions of dollars on tourism promotion.

So, it can clearly be seen that travel and tourism may not be a single entity but rather an important facet of the entire tourism industry. Traveling and tourism may include anything and everything related to traveling and exploring new lands. Even the food and lodging businesses are closely associated with tourism.
