It's a bit confusing issue using trip and travel as a noun. You used both of them business trip and business travel, which is right?
We use both. Business travel is more of a general word. For example, "Business travel makes up 50% of all airline business." When we talk about a person's journey, we prefer to use trip. "My business trip to Spain was successful."
Michael DiGiacomo Thank you very much. I love your blog
Very good , really was confusing to me but now I understand… But I have one doubt about this subject, What about abroad?
I Thank youu 🙂
Abroad is a place. For example, I lived abroad for 4 years. 🙂
Very interesting!!
Thanks Maria! I'm happy to hear that 🙂
Michael DiGiacomo I see . It's like instead I say ' I lived out…' I have to say 'I lived abroad…'
Damaris Cooper That's right 🙂
My learning here is that trip means tour to any place whereas travel means journey…..i think i am right Michael
Harsha, Well..I can take a trip to the grocery store, or take a trip to India. Travel (as a noun) can be used to mean a long journey (His travel in Asia was exciting) or (as a verb) can mean any movement (I travel to school by bus)
Michael DiGiacomo Ya……correct..i got it…Thanks
