We are all familiar with 'jaunty' government officials going to a foreign country at the drop of a hat- even while not wearing hats, but the virus is more widespread.
Celebs and corporates also go on foreign jaunts, for their own reasons. Yeah, you guessed right. The reasons mostly include showing off that they are capable of going where they please.
Companies also use foreign jaunts as rewards - for salespeople, dealers etc. who perform well.
Lesser mortals may spend their own money and do an all-inclusive 12-day Europe trip once in a lifetime, to be able to claim some brownie points.
Parents who have kids in the U.S., go there regularly as baby-sitters for their grandkids.
Academics like me just go there to attend conferences, and contribute to the state of knowledge!
