It does not mean 'continue'. It simply means that Mr Moto travels away from home to conduct business.

This is completely wrong in this sentence. Please do not respond to questions unless you are sure you know the answer.

Thank you Mr. fivejedjon, but how you found it? Can't the verb "go on" (with the meaning of continue) come before/with the word "trip"?

Not unless you add a with after on. The phrasal verb go on (= continue) is intransitive.

It's not a phrasal verb. It just means "go" and then "on" (business trips).

Idiom: to go | on a trip ~ to take a trip

Compare: to go on holiday; to go on a vacation
