You travel for two reasons: pleasure or obligation. You may not like travelling at all, but if your job forces you to do so there is nothing you can do about it (and you may end up in liking travelling but not touring). Now, if you travel for pleasure, you may visit only one place (you may even prefer doing it alone), or you may "tour" all around or on your way to your final destination.
