Morphology

travel + tip

This is a transparent noun-noun combination where 'travel' simply specifies the domain of 'tip' (advice). A B1 learner who knows 'travel' (journey) and 'tip' (practical suggestion) can readily infer 'travel tip' as advice for journeys; the same compositional logic appears in many languages.

Etymology

Travel tip comes from the idea of a small, useful suggestion for a trip. Imagine the point of a finger—the tip—pointing at a map to show what to do while you travel, and that image helps explain why a travel tip is a short piece of 'advice' to make your journey easier.
