business trips

Corporate travel obligations

Business trips are work-related journeys away from one's usual workplace.

Employees travel to meet clients, attend conferences, visit other offices, or conduct business that can't be handled remotely.

The term often appears in discussions of expense reimbursement and tax deductions: The company covers meals and lodging on business trips.

Business trips occupy an ambiguous space—partly work, partly adventure—which explains both their appeal and the jokes about what happens on them.
