Almost £60,000 of Jersey taxpayers' money went on ministers travels last year.
A new government report reveals Ministers and Assistant Ministers took 55 official trips between February and December 2024.
More than half the bill - over £30,000 - was for the External Relations Minister Deputy Ian Gorst to attend international meetings, talks and conferences.
He had the most expensive 'per night' stay when he went to the United States in September for the International Monetary Fund / World Bank autumn meeting. Totalling £7,568.57, the four day visit cost £1,892 per night.
It was one of three journeys to America in 2024 for Deputy Gorst, adding up to more than £19,000.
An overnight journey to the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool in September by Chief Minister Lyndon Farnham and Deputy Ian Gorst cost £2,205.

Treasury Minister Elaine Millar attended the Qatar Economic Forum in Doha in May at a cost of £3,599.68, and supported Jersey Finance Limited's Women in Leadership roadshow in the Gulf States in October for £3,276.96.
The Ministers' Code of Conduct includes ' a duty to use scarce public resources with care and due attention, and to be satisfied that the costs they incur on travel and expenses can reasonably be justified in public as being efficient and cost effective and are required for and related to their ministerial office.'
The report says "Ministers and Assistant Ministers will continue to seek to uphold these requirements, travelling when necessary and appropriate for their role in the best interests of Jersey, and exercising caution over the costs they incur."
