Your question is rather vague so I'll give you answers on all possible interpretations, okay:
Functions of Travel (like "why do people travel?") ---
1. to broaden their knowledge of other countries/cultures
2. to see beautiful sights
3. to relax; to get away from routine drudgery
Functions of Travel Agencies ---
1. to help travelers with their itineraries
2. to get the best possible discounts for hotels, flights, etc.
3. to make all preliminary arrangements so travelers will better enjoy their trips
Functions of the Dept. of Tourism ---
1. to attract travelers/tourists to their country
2. to provide guidelines to all businesses involved in the tourism industry so quality of service is maintained
3. to monitor all activities in the tourism business
What is the relation between travel and tourism?
Tourism is the industry that promotes the development of interesting places and locations for the dual purpose of earning money and enhancing a country's image.
Travel is the service industry that supports tourism by enabling people to go to these interesting places and locations for the sole purpose of making money.
I'm not in the tourism/travel industry......I'm just trying to answer your question the best I can.

The primary functions of OTTI are:
management of the travel and tourism statistical system for assessing the economic contribution of the industry and providing the sole source for characteristic statistics on international travel to and from the United States;
design and administration of an international promotion program and export expansion activities;
development and management of tourism policy, strategy and advocacy; and
