The luxury tourism market is experiencing a significant boom driven by wealthy young entrepreneurs, as cryptocurrency prices, particularly Bitcoin, continue to rise. According to the Financial Times, private jet and ultra-luxury cruise operators are increasingly accepting cryptocurrency payments. McKinsey analysis projects that individuals aged 30 to 40 will spend $28 billion on luxury travel in 2023, with this figure expected to nearly double to $54 billion by 2028.
Flexjet's FXAIR subsidiary has responded to the "huge" demand from young, affluent customers by accepting cryptocurrency payments for flights, such as those from Farnborough Airport to New York City, priced at approximately $80,000. Similarly, Virgin Voyages and SeaDream Yacht Club have begun accepting Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for their high-end offerings. Boutique hotel groups like Kessler Collection Hotels and Pavilions Hotels & Resorts are also embracing digital currencies, accepting tokens such as Dogecoin, Litecoin, and Ethereum.
