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 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.
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.
Travel can be for recreational purposes, for tourism, to
visit people, for business or for commuting, and may occur
for numerous other reasons, such as to obtain health care,
migration, fleeing war, etc. Travel may occur by
human-powered transport such as walking or bicycling, or
with vehicles, such as airplanes, private transport, public
transport, automobiles and trains.
Tourism is travel for recreational, leisure or business
purposes. The World Tourism Organization defines tourists as
people who "travel to and stay in places outside their usual
environment for more than twenty-four (24) hours and not
more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and
other purposes not related to the exercise of an activity
remunerated from within the place visited."
Tourism has
become a popular global leisure activity.
Whenever you arrive in any country, whether it be by boat,
plane or whatever you are vulnerable. You have all your
cash, cards, documents and anything else valuable on you
right at that moment. It is even worse if you have never
been there before and look like you haven't, there are
always people who are willing to "help".
Before leaving for your trip, try to get some prior
information as to the rough layout of the airport where
you will be arriving. This will help, to have a vague
sense of where you should be going and where the taxis
are located etc. Whenever possible, especially in
certain countries we recommend taking either the airport
limousine, or a hotel pick up. Take your major credit
cards, such as, Visa, Master Card and American Express.
Leave all your local store credit cards in a secure
location at home; there will be no need to carry them
with you. If you have any food allergies, learn the
names of those foods in the languages used in the
countries you’ll be visiting. This way you’ll be better
equipped to stay on the look out for them. Find out what
types of diseases are common to the area you’ll be
visiting and take actions to prevent your exposure to
those diseases. Find out what types of vaccinations you
will need to enter the country, there may also be
medications you’ll need to take before, during and even
after your trip. Every precaution you take will help to
avoid any potential problems.
