In other words: Trip - refer to (ususally) shorter visit with intent to return to point of origin. I am taking a short trip to Shanghai next week. I'll be back beforethe weekend. For example: I went on a day trip to France. We left at 6.30 in the morning and returned before midnight the same day. Where's Laurie? ~ He won't be in this week. He's gone on a business trip to Malaysia and Singapore. Travel is the general term to describe going from one place to another. Hope this helps you. :)

As a noun, a trip is a single journey to where you are going and back again. The trip is over once you return home. As a noun, travel can refer to all of your trips that you have taken or plan to take. Taking a trip to Russia is travel. Taking a trip to Egypt the next year is still travel, but not part of the same trip.

travel refers to long journey on the other hand trip refers to short one. Thats the main differences of these words.

Finally, you asked a question, dear cousin.
