What is the difference between travel and tourism?

Travel and tourism may be similar in name, but they are actually two different concepts.

Travel usually refers to the process of people moving and exploring from one place to another. It may include different activities such as hiking, biking, driving, etc., but the focus is on the movement of people from one place to another. The purpose of travel can be varied, including adventure, finding new experiences, escaping from daily life, and more.

Tourism focuses more on leisure and entertainment, usually staying in a specific destination for a period of time to enjoy the local culture, scenery, food, etc. The purpose of travel is usually for relaxation and enjoyment and may include visits to museums, historical sites, natural landscapes, etc.

Therefore, travel focuses more on the process of moving and exploring, while tourism focuses more on the experience of staying and enjoying a specific place. The two concepts are sometimes used interchangeably, but they cover slightly different content and emphasis.
