Both mean the same thing. The first is a transliteration of the english word "travel" "toraberu". The second is the traditional japanese word. Both are prime words in my opinion but I'd much rather own トラベル than 旅行

I registered a lot of travel related domain in Japanese.
With トラベル you can't say "cheap travel" or "overseas travel"
It's not as common as those words with 旅行.
By itself both a great domains.
