Trips for knowledge

Educational travel is journeying primarily to learn—visiting historical sites, studying abroad, or immersing oneself in another culture.

The term covers structured programs like school trips and language immersion courses, as well as independent travel with learning goals: The museum offers educational travel packages to ancient ruins.

Distinguished from tourism by its emphasis on gaining knowledge rather than leisure.
