educational tour

School field excursion

An educational tour is a group trip organized around learning objectives rather than pure leisure.

Schools arrange educational tours to museums, historical sites, or foreign countries; professional organizations offer them to conferences or facilities relevant to their field.

The term sometimes serves as a euphemism for what is essentially a vacation with minor educational pretenses: The company's "educational tour" of Napa Valley focused mainly on wine tasting.
