That says nothing about what you are referring to. They're talking about if you're in a place where there is minyan. Not about in a place where there is no minyan.
OK. If one is in a place where there is a minyan and he an Anus (see how commentaries explain that) he is patur.
M.B., Beir Heitev, and others talk about other cases. They say one may not miss minyan even to make money.

Of-course if one is already somewhere where there is no minyan, he should try to daven at the time when the shul would be davening, as per Mchaber. But if we see that one is permitted to miss tfila btzibur only if he is an Onus (such as if he is weak), then certainly it would seem he shouldn't pick up and leave to a place that does not have a minyan if it is unnecessary.

I will admit however that you make a good point about pointing out the specific case he is referring to. If you see someone actually discussing this exact case of leaving to a place without a minyan let me know. But I do think it is clear

He actually says if you live where there is no minyan you should try to pray when they pray, even though you are alone.

He says one should try to make minyan. Then he says that if you are an Ones then there is another method. Vacation (unless truly necessary and I would argue unable to be close to a minyan on vacation) is not an Ones.

See Mishna Brurah. There is a discussion about missing minyan if you will lose money which I think has grounding. I think if it is just so that you will make money, you shouldn't. Vacation would seem to be a kal vchomer.
You might be right on the rest, but on the one I highlighted you're wrong. People were doing business trips ever since.

The shevet halevi quoted above addresses this clearly.

Thanks. While I understand the Shevet Halevi's reasoning, I don't think there's a solid Reaih from שיחרר עבדו, because of course it's a Mitzva if you can do it, but it didn't mean that you can't go to a place that doesn't have one.

How am I wrong? I am merely quoting.

Regarding your question, I can answer you that a business trip may fall into the category of losing money. But be sure to speak to your posek.

So he talks about our exact case. Very nice.
He says that it is pashut it is assur.
You want to argue with one of his proofs? Go ahead. But at least it is discussed black and white.

OK.
Anyway, there are clear sources aside from Shulchan Aruch and commentaries on the page.

What about someone who has a business based on writing about pleasure trips?

Hi, doodle. How are you doing today? I just did teshuva and decided that it was time to listen to the wise words of Shlomo Hamelech.

Well, now that you brought it up....my peeve was about the anger coming from types that go anywhere, even if it means missing minyan, but lets be honest. The reality is that nowadays one who regularly davens three times a day during the week with a minyan other than when flying out for non essential needs is much better than plenty of people who, while when in Yeshiva made minyan, once they settled down have slackened off.

If you are someone who does not make it regularly to minyan btzibur for Shachris or Mincha/Maariv during the week, you are kind of disingenuous. Shabbos and Yom Tov are not the only times one prays with a minyan, and most everyone knows someone like that. Yes agreed, it is a sakanah today. But you know that you wouldn't show up regularly even if it wasn't a sakanah, so lay off.

OK, maybe it's the cabin fever, but I've had enough of this holier than thou attitude and negative energy.

Let's try a 1 week timeout for both of you. Feel free to come back in 7 days and try again without the condescension and without repeating the same point dozens of times in multiple threads like a broken record.
