Ahh, the life of a salesman: traveling to fabulous places and seeing the sites, all for a couple hour-long meetings with customers in hopes of a sale. Maybe do a couple of wine and dines at fancy restaurants on the company dime. Stay at those fancy hotels with lavish room service.
Those who do this for a living know what I just wrote is total baloney. First, equipment dealers and contractors often locate in industrial areas with fewer amenities. Second, you really do not have a lot of time on your own. The meals, usually arranged by others, typically are more functional than fun. Travel outside the United States just adds to the costs, uncertainty and angst — especially if you make the trip to investigate an issue with a product you provided.
