As others have pointed out, business travel is often no more than commuting to work. As a consultant I seldom experience much of the community I travel to, even though I make an effort.
By contrast, people who work in some parts of the government, such as Dept of State, or the Military, live and work for extended periods in other cultures.
Also, I've known tour guides, such as for bike trips, who spend much of their time travelling in interesting areas. The pay is poor, but for the right person, especially after college but before settling down, a great opportunity.
