Vocabulary for travel

Choose precise words for travel planning, people, journeys, places, bags, and ticket directions.

This lesson groups travel vocabulary by purpose. A travel agency is a company that helps prepare travel, while a tour guide is a person who explains places of interest. To organise a tour is to prepare a visit, and to go on a cruise is to visit several places by ship or boat. A destination is the place someone is going, and luggage is the bags carried when travelling. A single ticket covers the journey to the destination only; a return ticket covers travel there and back. The source also practises five useful combinations: book a return ticket, pack luggage, visit a travel agency, arrive at a destination, and ask for a tour guide.
