The correct variants are “How long have you been here and How long have you been travelling”, as the answers could be: I have been here for three days or I have been here since last week, and the same for the other sentence I have been travelling for three years, and I have been travelling since I turned twenty. Present Perfect Progressive is used both with "Since "and “For”, therefore, the question is not to have either of them.
