The way I see it the ones who attend every show are doing it because the people at the shows are their "core group of friends" and they can pay for the "vacation" as a deduction.

Sure business gets done but it is secondary.
Exactly, even for veterans who have been around for years, we can reach each other with skype/fb without needing an in-face meeting anymore. Even with the trips being free, I'd prefer to enjoy a nice vacation than spend 3-4 nights at a show.
