The 10 most expensive tourist activities in the world
The Guinness World Records lists the most expensive trip in history, which involves low Earth orbit. It was to the International Space Station in 2009. Seven people, including Guy Laliberté, founder of Cirque du Soleil, and Hungarian engineer Charles Simonyi, became space tourists after paying between 20 and 35 million dollars to the American company Space Adventures. Simonyi is featured in the Guinness Book as the tourist who has visited space the most times. These other tourist activities we showcase cost hundreds of thousands of dollars less, but they're still quite hefty.
