People on journeys
Travellers is the plural of traveller, people who journey from place to place.
In British and Irish English, Travellers (often capitalized) refers specifically to ethnic groups with traditionally nomadic lifestyles, including Irish Travellers and Romani people: The council established a site for Travellers.
The term can carry prejudicial weight depending on context.
This spelling is standard in British English; Americans write travelers.
