I'm fully converted to sugar in my hometown, but traveling is another story.
I have considered looking for SBs on a few trips, but it seems somewhat daunting, considering the amount of time to vet and set up an initial meet. And if you do succeed in finding an SB willing to go BCD on a short visit, I would expect her to be at least semi-pro if not a full pro. So wonder if the experience is very different. Maybe a longer dinner date? Most of the pussy-rich places have a good array of both pros and SBs, so that may not be an issue.
But interested in hearing about the pros and cons of pros and SBs on your voyages.
Notwithstanding the exceptional escapades of our friend Herb... who seems ot have mastered the art of SB hunting.

No success.  If they reply they're pros.

I have had success going BCD with SBs I met on seeking while I was traveling to Denver, Phoenix, Sarasota, LA, Oxnard, Indianapolis and probably a few others I can't remember.  Phx is by far my favorite.  In all cases, I have spent a lot of time messaging in advance with the goal of getting at least one or two definite yesses. I made it clear I was an out of town visitor looking for a playdate at my hotel.  I don't double book because I don't want to have to cancel.  I usually have specific time slots I'm trying to fill during a 2 or 3 night stay.  If I'm able to fill my time slots, I will tell other potentials that unfortunately my schedule for this trip is still up in the air and I might not be able to confirm our date until the last minute.  It surprises me how many say that's ok, just lmk when you can.  It's also surprising how many are willing to meet a stranger in a hotel!  I'd say that none of them were professional sex workers, but who really knows, right?  I mean, they accepted the sugar dating protocol, i.e., getting paid at the conclusion of the date, not at the beginning.  So I don't think they were pro escorts.  Most of these dates were very enjoyable.  A few became multiple visits on return trips.  When I'm browsing profiles in a target city I look for indications that they are open to short term or ONS with an out of town visitor.  Sometimes they say that explicitly.  Things like ok with short term or NSA, or ENM  can be good clues.  Once you've found some good candidates, you simply have to ask.  I realize that dating pros in this situation would have much more dependable results.  But I prefer the girls I meet on seeking, and I find the process fun.

I have found success in such diverse enclaves as Miami, Orlando, LA and Portland, Ore. although LA also provided one of my worst experiences, but that's a story for another day. It definitely takes the three P's: persistence, patience and perseverance, probably a tad more than in your home base not to mention acceptance of possible failure.

It requires a discerning eye based on their profile text. In rare occasions I have been contacted by them when they noticed I peeked at their profiles. I am never blunt in my opening messages to avoid triggering the trip wire of potentially offending the receiver and being reported, but honest enough to say that I'm an infrequent visitor and simply looking to enjoy the company of a classy individual to give me a sense of the city and make clear I am willing to treat them to an upscale night out.

I've been sugaring for more than a decade and that is ONLY when traveling.

 
The key to the best relationships was very frequent and fairly predictable travel to your SBs' cities. For a golden while, I had three in rotation in three different cities, each one in her 20s and professionally employed full-time. I highly doubt they were pros or semi pros.

 
Each date in the rotation above included an upscale, leisurely meal (which I enjoy) and BCD time. One of the girls stayed overnight every single time (except the first time we met) and the other two stayed over sometimes, but those two could also meet during the day.

 
The best way to get the date when traveling is to ping the POT 3-5 days before arriving and move to text as soon as possible. I would always explain up front that I travel most of the time and I was in their city about half or one-third of the weeks in a year. They would know that, and my expectations, including allowance, before we met. I only had three in long-term rotation once, but I've had many, many SBs for multiple dates, often stretching over more than a year. I have been seeing one girl infrequently for more than six years.

 
My best cities were Chicago, NYC, and DC. But I've had good luck in every city I've tried (at least a dozen) EXCEPT for Miami. I've just given up there. (How do you do it, Hobbyist1958?)

 
The bowl has changed a great deal over the last decade. There are way more obvious pros and scammers to sort through now. In general, it just takes more work to get a date and even more work to find a good SB. The allowances have gone way up and long gone are the glory days when sometimes a girl would just not take an allowance. (But I'm older, uglier, and fatter now!) The girls are much better informed about sugaring and some of that information is just plain bad or wrong. And, I wouldn't be surprised if most of them are working OF on the side. (Maybe OF is why coeds aren't as plentiful as they used to be).

 
I spend a lot of time on the road so if I don't sugar on the road, I'm not sugaring.  

 
Main pros to sugaring on the road:  
You already have the hotel
Discretion (for you)
Vastly expanded pool of babies (if you live in a smaller town)
Some of the babies are enchanted by the idea of a traveling, upscale daddy. It seems classy and exotic to them.

 
Cons:
It's just harder to find a girl who agrees to an arrangement with a traveler. She's afraid you'll see her once and dump her (unless she's a pro and then she won't care). Most girls want a SD who lives in her city. Sometimes you just can't convince her to believe you're there enough of the time (but you want the kind of girl who wants that kind of consistency). A phone call or video chat helps.
If you're only in town 1-3 nights, you don't really have time for sexless "meet 'n' greets" unless you're more patient than I am.
Weekend sugar is rare if your travel is for work.
Baby can get very bummed if Daddy says "I won't be back for three or four weeks."
When Baby randomly texts that she needs Daddy ($$$) right now and Daddy is hundreds of miles away, it sucks.
One flight delay can mess up your whole evening.
