A Spartans first and only vacation was to be a warrior, anything else would be an insult to the other Spartans. The job of trade went to the Perioikoi, they traveled all across Greece and the Aegean and made Sparta fairly rich.
Spartans could travel if they wished, usually they just didn't. The city of Syracuse in Sicily was founded by Spartans. Travel was however discouraged as it tended to be the case that when a Spartan left Sparta they came back with all sorts of 'bad' habits.
They were not allowed to trade and travel because they could not risk a war or battle to start on foreign ground.(Even though they were a military community)

How did Sparta trade?
Unlike Athens who depended on trade, Sparta's economy depended on farming and taking control of the neighboring city-states. Sparta's environment couldn't take care of all of it citizens. In order to survive the Spartans had to take control of the neighboring city-states for the rich and fertilized soil. The people the Spartans caught after a raid were turned into slaves.Spartans had the slaves and noncitizens produce the goods they needed. Noncitizens were not slaves they were freemen. If they needed to, they were able to serve in the Spartan military. Noncitizens could not participate in the government. Noncitizens made products for money like shoes, red cloaks for the soldiers, iron tools like knives and spears, and pottery. Noncitizens also operated trade. They traded for the goods Sparta needed to survive. Spartans discouraged trade because of the fear of new ideas that would breakdown their government. Also trade wasn't easy for Sparta. Their money was iron rods not coins like some other city-states.
