Explanation:

To make some concepts clear, firstly, the International Date Line [IDL]. It's an imaginary line passing through Greenwich, which is in London. (It is mostly adopted by countries to decide on which time zone they fall.

Secondly, the Earth completes one rotation on it's axis in 24 hours as it moves from west to east, and it makes a difference when we refer to the IDL, or the International Date Line (which I referred to before), when we move east, a person gains time (gains a day for example) when moving to the East, and loses time (loses a day for example) when moving to the west. [Refer to, the Sun rises in the East, and sets in the West]

Therefore, we can conclude, this is why a person gains time as he travels towards East.
