Do you tell them where you're going, or do you lie? I imagine it'd be more-than-a-bit suspicious to be sent on a business trip to Thailand, especially if you work in an industry that doesn't even exist there.
If you do lie, how do you not get caught in that lie? What happens if they want to video call you? What happens if they ask to see your tourist pictures of the place you went to?
