I've been considering asking a provider to travel with me on holiday later this fall and she has intimated that I should come up with a number for her compensation. While I definitely want to be fair, perhaps even a bit generous, I have no concept as to what appropriate compensation would be for a week's travel that also includes the expense of flights, hotels, restaurants, sightseeing, shopping, and other sundries. We quite enjoy spending time together and I am loathe to offer a low number that might give insult or too high a number that may hinder my ability to entertain her properly as she deserves. Suggestions?

Nothing wrong with asking, instead of suggesting a number that might be perceived as offensive. Hugs 😘

I would suggest her 2-3 hour rate multiplied by the number of days you'll be travelling. At least you'll have some reasoning to your number if she gets offended.

I think she's uncomfortable giving me a specific amount. She may not want to go too high and put me off my plan or go too low and discount herself.

Interesting thought indeed. Much thanks!

Valid points all! I greatly appreciate your response particularly since it gives me a provider's view of the issue at hand. Much thanks!

There are a number of providers which advertise daily rates.  That would be a good starting point.  This particular subject (like most subjects) has been raised before on the board - you might want to do a forum search.  My observations from previous discussions -

Depending on if the hourly rate is $250 or $500.
You must cover all other expenses of course, but her shopping is her dime.

She wants you to go first, you want her to go first. It's much to your advantage to insist "she go first" for the very reasons you cite.

and I do have day rates..  However with my favorites I am willing to cut down my day rate to 1500.  If I have to be away from home and my family I can't do it for under a certain amount.  Now there are also a couple other factors that I might be willing to work with to make it lower.  Those factors are:

I've known a couple of girls who were happy spending a week in Hawaii for the cost of their monthly mortgage or apartment rental.   And of course all other expenses paid.  Seems like a practical approach to me.

Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I have to admit, that while I would never go along with things like separate rooms, etc. that really is not what the thread is about. Your major point about what is a "fair" price to pay I have to agree with. We are talking about her missing an entire week's worth of work and she can't pay her bills with shopping sprees or fancy meals.

they know if they go to high many guests will be miffed and not even counter, heck he may even think "that money grubbing whore" and stop seeing her altogether.  If he goes to low she may think that cheap ass!

lo ball her.  she can counter-offer.  If she is insulted and breaks off, there are plenty of fish in the sea.

which does drive the price down.   I have to say you got an awesome deal though.  But then I am not a huge fan of Hawaii(it is ok, been to 4 of the islands and not dying to go back to any of them) so maybe it is just me.

it is because when it comes to day trips I would rather not.  Not to say I wouldn't but I would have to make more then my overnight gifting which is do get fairly regularly for a day rate for it to be worth it to me.  Unless certain aspects played in.  I am friends with and do have OTC meals or add "perks" for my regulars so I know the value of friendship and catering to guests.  I just would rather go away on my own terms or not at all.  

You could suggest she could work a couple hours a day while you're at the strip club.

in telling her how much you can afford
 Why she would be offended by he fact that you are not wealthy?
It is rather you have to feel bad then her.
 Not she would offer low number but you  

I plainly said that IF this was "strictly a business arrangement at his request"  

I would be content with $500 per day .  I like vacations to tropical destinations. If we are tight enough to travel together and none of the trip is on my dime I am cool with $500 per day so I am not out any money.

I have had opportunities to double up with other providers just because her inability to quote a donation amount. Poor business skills. She has to develop her hooker math skills.

For example, when I asked a provider if she'd join me for a weekend out of town, I knew she had no published rate for that. So I asked her what she thought was fair. Her response: $800, plus I'd cover her flight and all other expenses. Her reasoning was that, at that time, she didn't take clients on weekends so she'd only miss 2-3 hours' work on Friday because of the trip. She wanted to be covered for that time. I thought that was logical, and very reasonable.  For my part, I tried to make it like a weekend getaway for her, not let's-have-non-stop-sex.

I had a FBSM gal...  who offered extras once you got to know her... & clearly expected extra for them.  but would not say what she wanted for said extras.  
It was very uncomfortable to be put in that position...  I didn't want to over pay but figured if I went too low, the door would hit me in the ass on my way out...  and I wanted to see her again.  (Which I did for 6 years)  
I with tip it was about equal to the rate for typical FS gal in my area at that time.

Now tell us about your palatial estate.

 About what your heart is singing in spring? Do you feel you heart at all at times? I hope this song will  make your heart to beats faster .. It is as in Cheery bloom in DC .. I by some reasons  have a nostalgia for my country beautiful  songs and  beautiful language .. do you know  that they say that when Ukrainian Russian women talk - it is as mermaid are talking ? Many my male friends just stated learn Russian and Ukrainian .. yet I did re learning  German again-  
 here NOT A PRETTY UKRAINIAN GIRL HERE - YET JUST KAREL GOTT yet woman who dances - easy can imagine - it how I look and dance by the way

It's funny, now that I live in a town with virtually no hookers, I have entered into the "sugar" world where there are no posted rates and I now have to do this little dance with every new SB I meet.
