I’m travelling to Italy on Friday. vs Do you travel to New York often? #1 (permalink) Sun Jul 26, 2009 3:18 am   I’m travelling to Italy on Friday. vs Do you travel to New York often?
 

Hi everybody,
I find the following two sentences as wrong in Oxford dictionary.
1. I’m travelling to Italy on Friday.
2. Do you travel to New York often?
Could anyone explain what grammatical mistakes are in those sentences?
Thanks,
Er.S.M.M.Hanifa

Let me explain with more context.
In Oxford Advanced Genie - dictionary,
under word journey, they have struck-through these two sentences and
have recommended to use 'to go' like
I’m going to Italy on Friday.
Do you go to New York often?
Thanks,
