2. General Provisions 2.1.
These Guidelines apply to all Ministries and Departments of the Government and to all public bodies and agencies, of whatever description.
2.2.
Every effort must be taken to minimize the cost of travel and the number of officials travelling domestic or overseas on official business. As part of this, consideration should be given to whether or not attendance at meetings and conferences outside of the Islands is necessary. If so, the minimum number of officials should be sent.
2.3.
Where Government Officers or other persons are approved to accompany a Minister on official domestic or overseas air travel to assist in the performance of the Minister’s duties, the number of such officers or other persons is to be kept to a minimum.

2.6.
Attendance at domestic and overseas conferences and courses is not to be approved unless it is essential to the efficient performance of Government business and required to meet the established outcomes for a financial year.

TCIG Policy Guideline for Official Air travel by Ministers, Members of The House of Assembly and Government & Statutory Bodies Officers

15.4.
Lodging should be chosen on the basis of value for money and affordability and must be for an amount within the DSA rate set in accordance with this policy. Only in extraordinary circumstances, such as where no other lodging is available within the set DSA rate due to demand should a rate above the set DSA be paid. In extraordinary circumstances, if the chosen lodging based on the specifics of the Member of Cabinet's travel total more than the Daily Subsistence Allowance (DSA) then, in those exceptional circumstances, the lodging allowance should be reflective of the rates secured at the prescribed place of accommodation.
