The difference between tour and travel

The difference between tour and travel:

1. "Tour" generally has the purpose of sightseeing, enjoyment, entertainment, travel, etc. It may also be "aimless". Plan local programs at one stop, and plan where to go next after playing for a while.

2. "Tour" is usually used by the tourism industry to describe the services they provide and sell. The original meaning in English refers to a relatively long hedonistic journey with several stopovers. Nowadays the word is also used for "non-hedonic" journeys.

3. "Travel" does not necessarily mean long distance, and it does not necessarily have to do with tourism. However, travel agencies and travel agents are all described as “travel agent”.

4. "Travel" sometimes means "to go" and is interchangeable with "go".

5. "Travel" is usually used to describe a journey from one point to another.
