Who pays the price of such generalization where the influence of companions is always the decisive factor in choosing a travel destination?
For small actors or modest families, realities are often quite different; choices are not always made based on inspiration or shared preferences.
The true distributional impact is seen when a person, here in Senegal, has to travel for a family funeral in the countryside, or to seek medical treatment not available locally.
In these cases, the choice of companions is secondary, or even nonexistent; the financial imperative and the necessity dictate the destination, well before any consideration of who will accompany the trip.
