honestly.. never heard abt "TRAVEL" as noun.. always used it as verb..

look, even thefreedictionary.com gives you following:

trav·el (tr

v

l)
v. trav·eled or trav·elled, trav·el·ing or trav·el·ling, trav·els

v.intr.

1. To go from one place to another, as on a trip; journey.

trip (tr

p)
n.

1. A going from one place to another; a journey.

u see?.. "TRAVEL" is more used as a verb..

and "TRIP" as a noun

hope this helped..

alda1119What's the diffence between "TRAVEL" and "TRIP"?

You can find the noun "travel" in any decent dictionary -- including http://www.thefreedictionary.com/travel .
When the word "travel" is used as a noun, it is frequently used as an uncountable noun (which means you cannot say "a travel"), and it refers very generally to the act of travelling.
The noun "trip" is not only a countable noun, but is also used to talk specifically about individual journeys. For example:

- With the economy worsening, business travel has decreased as companies look for ways to cut costs.

- We are planning a two-week trip to Hawaii for our anniversary.

alda1119Which is correct?

The Philippine Culture or The Philippines Culture?

I think I would say one of these:
- the Filipino culture
- the culture of the Philippines
