3. A trip made at the expense of an organization of which the
traveller is an official, ostensibly to obtain information
relevant to one's duties; especially, a trip made by a
public official at government expense. The term is
sometimes used opprobriously, from a belief that such
trips are often taken for private pleasure, and are
therefore a waste of public money; as, a congressional
junket to a tropical country.
