These were the 15 hottest destinations billionaires couldn't get enough of in 2019
[luxury travel]grinvalds/Getty Images * The ultra-rich are investing more in travel as a way to show off their wealth, and that includes everything from sabbaticals to brief vacations. * We teamed up with luxury travel agency Original Travel to find the hottest spots billionaires went to in 2019. * A few classics like Great Britain made the list, but many billionaires are seeking adventure, from Rwanda to Bhutan. * Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. Investing in travel is becoming an increasingly popular way for the ultra-rich to signify their status — and they're extending it far beyond the classic idea of a vacation. But just where are these billionaires headed? Business Insider teamed up with boutique luxury travel agency Original Travel, which plans trips for high-net-worth individuals, to find out the hottest spots the elite spent their money on in 2019. They based this ranking on the number of bookings and performance; the latter was assessed by feedback, their expertise, and client inquiries. Turns out, billionaires had a taste for adventure in 2019. While a few classics made the list, such as Britain and France, far-flung countries — from Rwanda to Myanmar — made an appearance on the list, too. Keep reading to see where the rich are got their passports stamped this year. 15. MONTENEGRO Olena Z/Shutterstock Lesser-known than neighbors Croatia and Greece, the tiny slice of Adriatic coastline that is Montenegro has previously lacked high-quality accommodation (other than the Aman network) to rival its fjord landscapes, Tom Barber, co-founder of Original Travel, told Business Insider. Montenegro got a luxury upgrade in 2019 with the newly opened Chedi Lustica Bay, he said. 14. OMAN Shutterstock/lkpro Business Insider previously reported that Oman is the next big destination for luxury travelers. Its peak travel season runs from October to April. "Luxury brands like Anantara Hotels, which has already opened two resorts there, are claiming the country's culture and unique topography are a huge draw for travelers," reported Sarah Jacobs. 13. FRANCE FreeProd33/Shutterstock Champagne, in particular, is France's hottest destination right now, according to Barber. Belmond's new Pivoine Champagne barge launched in 2018, and the recent opening of The Royal Champagne Hotel "injected a much-needed shot of luxury and style to the hotel offerings of the region," he said. He added: "From barge or hotel, we recommend arranging a private vineyard tour and tastings including a backstage at Bollinger experience, along with a make-your-own Champagne lesson and treehouse Champagne bar experience for a comprehensive immersion in the region."

The 'world's first post-car development' is being built in Arizona - here's what it will look like
[Culdesac Courtyard]Opticos/Hugo Render * A car-free development, by real estate developer Culdesac and architecture firm Optico, is being built in Arizona and will house 1,000 people. * All of the homes will be walking distance from amenities and community areas, such as grocery stores, bars, and bookable communal spaces. * The 16-acre community includes 24,000 square feet of retail spaces. * It's slated to be finished in Fall 2020. * Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. Culdesac — working with architecture firm Optico — is creating the "world's first post-car development" that will be completed in the fall of next year. The neighborhood — which won't have any parking for private cars — will be in Tempe, Arizona, which was chosen because of its growing number of jobs and population, and available land near a light rail station. The only parking spaces will be for visitors and ridesharing. Instead of private cars, transportation options in the community will include: a shuttle bus, rideshare pick up areas, scooters, and a light rail station that can reach downtown Tempe, Phoenix, and an airport. "We're not trying to force people to live a lifestyle that they don't want to live, but I think it is really about providing a choice," Optico's Founding Principal Daniel Parolek told Business Insider. There are two surprising market segments that this car-free and car-light community appeals to: millenials and the silent generation. About 62% of millenials and 55% of the "silent generation" — the segment preceding baby boomers — have expressed that they want to live in a more walkable environment, according to a study by the National Association of Realtors. The same study found that millenials, over any other generational segment, prefer walking over driving. Keep scrolling to see what the neighborhood will look like: THE PROJECT WILL COST ABOUT $140 MILLION AND CULDESAC HAS RAISED $10 MILLION IN VENTURE CAPITAL FUNDING. Opticos/Hugo Render "Starting next year, residents of Culdesac Tempe will be able to live life from their doorsteps, rather than seeing it through their windshields," Culdesac CEO Ryan Johnson said in a prepared statement. He claims the community is for the "post-car era." THE COMMUNITY WILL BE COMPLETED IN THE FALL OF 2020. Culdesac "[Culdesac Tempe] is similar in character to a Greek, Italian, or French historic village with irregular, narrow meandering paseos, a hierarchy of public spaces, and thoughtfully placed buildings and building elements that deliver a sense of discovery as you make your way through the project," Opticos wrote on its website. Culdasec claims to be the first company to ever plan car-free communities and believes recent real estate designs have failed to keep up with changes in mobility, mainly the evolution beyond the constant need for cars. "People are ready to leave their cars behind for the walkable and vibrant lifestyle that comes from living in a car-free neighborhood," Culdesac COO Jeff Berens said in a statement. THE NEIGHBORHOOD WILL ACCOMMODATE 1,000 RESIDENTS WITH 636 UNITS AND SEVEN DIFFERENT TYPES OF RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS. Opticos/Hugo Render The residential units are built in an unconvential courtyard housing style that is "desert responsive," according to Parolek. The housing units have also been optimized for Tempe's desert climate. Reisdents can open windows on both sides of their units for cross-ventilization. Western and southern windows also have shading, along with courtyards and the sidewalks. "We think very carefully about the four solar orientations," Parolek told Business Insider. It's being built from the ground up and makes history as the first agreement between a city and a real estate developer to build a zero residential parking community, according to Culdesac, which will also serve as the property manager. Culdesac claims that the 16-acre community will have three times more green space than typical developments that are typically built around the parking lots. Of the space, 24,000 square feet of land will be set aside for retail. There will also be ample courtyards and community areas, which will include gyms, pools, and bookable spaces. "From an architect's perspective, it's unlike anything we've designed before, and also unlike anything that's been built before," Parolek continued. "We do feel that it is a game changer. It's really the type of project we've been looking for in 20 years of my firm's existence." Culdesac is now looking into more cities for a similar project, including Dallas, Denver, and Raleigh-Durham, according to the developer.
