travelers
Those on journeys
Travelers is the plural of traveler—people journeying from one place to another.
The word covers tourists, business travelers, and anyone in transit: Weary travelers filled the airport terminal.
In some contexts, Travelers (often capitalized) refers to Irish Travellers or Romani people—ethnic groups with traditionally itinerant lifestyles.
British spelling: travellers.
