Paul Largay Takes Adventure to New Heights
Paul Largay, President and Co-Owner of Largay Travel, has been chosen amid a select group of travel consultants in the country authorized to sell the next hot travel destination - Outer Space. The appointment of Largay was announced at a press conference on December 17th, 2006 held in Cannes, France at the International Luxury Travel Market conference. The commercial space tourism program will be operated by Virgin Galactic, a division of Richard Branson's Virgin Group. Virgin Galactic chose Virtuoso, the leading travel industry consortia, as its North American sales partner. In turn, Virtuoso selected 40 travel specialists from its member agencies to be trained as Virgin Galactic Accredited Space Agents.
"Virgin Galactic provides an extraordinary opportunity to allow us to create dreams that go beyond our atmostphere and we are thrilled to be part of the project." said Largay.
In February of 2007, Paul and his fellow Space Agents participated in a comprehensive training program to become fully accredited. This elite group is first and only travel professionals who can sell and reserve seats on Virgin Galactic's two spaceships, SpaceShipTwo (SP2) and WhiteKnightTwo (WK2).
SP2 and WK2 are on schedule to be completed in August of 2007. After a series of test flights, the crafts will be ready to carry their first commercial passengers into outer space in late 2008. Seats on the world's first commercial space craft don't come cheap! Initially, a ticket to the next frontier will start at $200,000, but the price is slated to drop to around $50,000 during the course of the next 10 years to allow more passengers to experience space travel.
