Business trip

The category of business and professional trips comprises all business and professional activities outside the usual environment.

This category includes sales to foreign enterprises, attending meetings, conferences or congresses, trade fairs and exhibitions, employer incentive tours, etc. Usually it is the employer who pays the costs for business trip.
