Trip Report Memo

A trip report memo is usually sent to a supervisor after an employee returns from a business venture. The structure is listed below:

purpose statement
summary
discussion
action

Begin this memo with a short paragraph stating the purpose, which is always to provide information on your trip.

Next, summarize the trip. Remember, the reader is usually not interested in a detailed minute by minute account of what happened. Instead, take the time to write a clear and concise outline of your trip.

Third, in a discussion section, point out to the reader any important information that you feel should be highlighted or stressed.

Finally, in the action section, state any additional relevant information you have come across since returning from the trip or any recommendations you might have for the reader.
