How can we not see that the choice of companions is not an indispensable condition for choosing a destination?
It's the cheapest version of the trip, where you manage with what you have, not what you wish for.
In Morocco, if your budget is limited or your friends are not available, you won't miss a trip because of that; you go alone, and the destination adapts to your reality, not an imaginary group.
The choice of companions is a variable, not an intrinsic decisive factor in the process itself, unless you have the means to make it so.
A business trip to Casablanca, for example, doesn't depend on who accompanies you, but on the necessity.
The idea of maximizing value is good, but the cost of the plane remains the biggest expense in all cases. Even with a well-planned week and local festivals, the plane ticket to Japan doesn't really change. Instead, you should look for last-minute deals for that, even if it means missing a specific event.

Who pays the price for this idea that companions are so central in the choice of a trip?
It's a generalization that doesn't take into account the practical realities of everyone.
Many people, especially young ones, don't necessarily have a group of friends whose budgets and desires match, and this shouldn't prevent them from choosing a destination, even if it means traveling alone or meeting people on site.
The distributive impact of this view is to marginalize those with fewer resources or specific desires, as if traveling were a privilege linked solely to group dynamics.
Here in Senegal, many travel first for family or business reasons; the question of companions comes only afterward and can even be resolved on site.
If I understand correctly, you're saying that the value of a trip doesn't depend so much on the duration or the season, but on flexibility and cultural experience. I quite like your point about local events; it changes everything for even a short stay.
Forget the binary of duration vs. seasonality; there is a third way that escapes this constraint.
In Japan, for example, date choices are often more flexible than the author suggests, not limited to just constraints.
Many companies offer flexible leave outside traditional peaks, allowing avoiding crowds and astronomical prices without falling into "low season" where everything is closed.
A shift of a few days can transform the experience, like finding a hotel in Kyoto at reasonable prices just before Golden Week.
Forget binary, it's not just a matter of duration or season, especially here where the calendar rules. You don't just choose the low season if our children's school holidays are set during peak season. The real question is to find a third way: how to adapt your trip to existing constraints for an enriching experience, even if it's not ideal. For example, taking a one-week trip during Golden Week, focusing on free parks rather than expensive theme parks. It's about adjusting to reality, not ignoring the menu.
La durée de votre voyage peut être limitée par votre budget.
Vous pouvez avoir trois semaines de vacances, mais n'en prendre que deux.
Partir en basse saison peut réduire les coûts d'hébergement.
Cependant, certains sites peuvent être fermés et la météo moins clémente.
Consequences
Bad question. Try this: it's neither the duration nor the season that truly determine the value of a trip, but rather the flexibility and alignment with an authentic cultural experience.
Here in Japan, even a short stay can be incredibly rich if you aim for local events or cherry blossoms, regardless of the season.
What matters is not to minimize costs at all costs, but to maximize the cultural value of every yen spent.
A well-planned one-week trip, even during peak season for a specific festival, can surpass a month of low season wandering aimlessly, relying on alternative accommodations or simple meals.
