An honorarium is a payment to a professional such as a guest speaker, in recognition of a distinguished achievement or special service such as a lecture, to offset the payee's expenses when custom or propriety precludes setting a fixed price.
Typically, an honorarium is paid in lieu of travel expense reimbursement. In some cases, an honorarium includes an allowance for travel expenses, which is different from reimbursement for actual travel expenses.
