XOJET, a leader in on-demand private aviation recently pulled data on the most anticipated destinations UHNWI’s will be flying to this summer.
From Aspen to Nice, France the ultra-rich are traveling for festivals, business, relaxation and more. Below are the eight destinations UHNWI’s will be traveling to based on bookings and inquiries from XOJET:

• Oakland: Tech moguls fly into the Bay Area for corporate engagements, while wine connoisseurs flock to nearby Napa, as August harvest time is popular for those who enjoy the full winemaking experience.
• Nice, France: For the ultra-rich, the French Riviera is the perfect spot for fine dining and elaborate hotel accommodations.
