I wonder if travel rates are discounted during periods/events like this.

Vacations during relatively-safe social upheavals would be great water fountain conversation pieces.

Although the hotels could be full from protestors.

There's plenty of stories of Independence fighters during the Spanish civil war treating it like a day job, as it was a volunteer militia.
Leaving for the battlefront after breakfast, and bringing a couple of bottles of wine.
Getting home after a hard Day's firefight for a late dinner.
You'd definitely take time to stop and kiss your wife and sleeping children each night.

I bet PTSD incidence was significant reduced in these situations.

Except, the Catalan separatists lost the war... And the country was tiles by fascist dictatorship who pursued, tortured and executed the rebels that could be found.

The US govt publically supported the Independence group, and secretly supplied the fascists with fuel and arms.
The Catalans received negligible material support..
