If you use "holiday" instead of pleasure, which also implies pleasure, can you still stick with one preposition [STRIKE]on[/STRIKE] or do you have to say "Are you here for [STRIKE]presure[/STRIKE] pleasure or on holiday?"?
We wouldn't ask if someone was there "on holiday or for pleasure"! That suggests that a holiday isn't pleasurable. In "Are you here for business or pleasure?" is the same as saying "Are you here for business or for a holiday?"
