Interestingly enough, Victor found that the music festival with the largest increase in booking requests was Burning Man – an apparent contradiction given the festival’s minimalist culture & frugal ethos. However, the festival is more than accommodating of these jet setters, having set up a temporary private jet charter terminal explicitly for the event.
