Billionaire Tourism

APOSTROPHE PODCAST NETWORK
About this episode

Most tourism marketing aims at the largest audience possible.

This week, we look at a sub-category aimed at the smallest audience possible:

Billionaire Tourism.

 

The super wealthy get bored easily.

That means luxury tour planners dream up extreme vacation ideas.

 From outer space, to the bottom of the ocean, to secretly getting the key to the Sistine Chapel, it’s a whole new pricey world.
