Los
Angeles has been for many years a celebrity packed up city with many districts
where celebrities are door-to-door neighbours and share the star struck
lifestyle. In today’s society famous people are huge targets and are followed
24/7 by paparazzi who intend to show us the most juicy facts of celebrities.
Many businesses have been created thanks to the fanaticism created around
celebrities, for instance Madame Tussauds wax museum which we saw at the
beginning of the blog. But what is the last celebrity related business?
A company
named StarLine Tours saw a market gap to cover about 25 years ago: offering
sightseeing tours in Los Angeles showing the outsides of celebrity and
socialite’s homes, such as; Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Michael Jackson,
Elvis Presley, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Tom Cruise, Nicholas Cage, Frank
Sinatra and many more. The tour prices range from $44 if you wish to have a
tour in a minibus with an audio guide and up to $2000 if you would like to have
an exclusive experience in a limousine with a personal assistant as well as a
visit to Rodeo Drive.
It is
incredible how many more companies have joined and created their Celebrity Home
Tours since then, creating a huge competition and pricing war. Tourists now
have a wide range of tours available and may visit their celebrity’s homes from
the outside getting to know all the gossip about them. Without any kind of
doubt this is a recent business that has grown like foam in the past years and
that is prosper since people are every time more and more interested on what celebrities
are up to. The clear example is that now many other cities such as Miami,
Malibu or New York offer this tours as well.
