The appellation traveller is generic in the sense that it is relevant to any form of movement of a person irrespective of the distance travelled i.e., ranging from a small distance of only few kilometers to an immigrant going for long-haul travel with the purpose of seeking employment or even to move to the place visited.
That is, the term refers to a person travelling from place to place without any consideration of his motive, duration of stay, the remunerative activity involved or not or return to the place of origin
