Who pays the price when we say that the influence of companions is a fundamental category for choosing a destination?
For the small worker who must travel for a mandatory training or the family who must accompany a sick parent, the choice of companions is not what determines the destination.
It is necessity, visa, hospital, or tight budget that dictates, not a shared leisure.
My cousin, for example, had to go to Dakar for a crucial interview; his friends had no say in this destination.
