Who has an interest in making us think that companions are always at the heart of the choice of a travel destination?
This statement seems to sell the idea that traveling is always a group affair, which ignores many realities.
The motive behind this generalization is questionable, because for a solo traveler, like someone going on a world tour, the selection of their destination depends entirely on their own motivations and not on companions.
Budget constraints or expectations are then purely personal, not shared.
