A new breed of traveller

February 19, 2008

Have you heard of skiers - and not those on two skis? I hadn't until last night when I spoke to Martin Edwards, a product manager at Bales Worldwide. He was telling me that he had started to hear of the term 'skiers' from clients. Skiers being those that spend their kids' inheritance on travel.
His was anecdotal evidence but could this be a new traveller who is hell bent on a) having a good time b) spending their cash to avoid tax and c) breaking the hearts of their children who will get less inheritance?
