Where are the world’s richest travelling in summer 2023?

If you’re curious about the summer destinations favored by the top one percent of wealth, don’t rely on Instagram – they’re likely too astute to casually reveal their preferred getaways through tags. (At least not until they’ve returned home.) Instead, turn your attention to a select circle of exclusive agents who specialize in orchestrating these trips and catering to the needs of the most affluent and discerning vacationers.

Jules Maury leads Scott Dunn Private, a division of the global travel agency Scott Dunn, catering to clients willing to invest a minimum of US$100,000 annually. However, it’s common for most of her clients to exceed this expenditure significantly.

Based in San Diego, John Clifford heads International Travel Management and specializes in LGBTQ+ travel. His clientele typically allocates around 10,000 euros per day, equivalent to approximately US$11,180, for fundamental trip expenses. These travelers then enhance their experience by adding exclusive offerings, such as private Vatican tours sans crowds, which come at an additional cost ranging between 10,000 and 15,000 euros each.

Edward Granville manages Red Savannah, a London-based company specializing in serving affluent globetrotters on a global scale. The typical excursion he arranges comes with an approximate price tag of £35,000, which is roughly equivalent to US$45,000. However, a substantial number of these journeys surpass double that figure, and Granville frequently handles bookings for million-dollar expeditions.
