PERHAPS THIS WILL HELP:

I am working with a very exclusive, super luxurious resort to create
"LifeStyles of the Rich & Famous" type of packages with educational
value/aspects, A-list
entertainment, unusual guest speakers and activities, as well as
various other specialized/unique aspects ....

This question (as the other 2) is designed find and isolate my "target
market,"  to tell me what they enjoy the most and then to create
customized packages for them.

Hi Highvoltage,

I've been looking at your questions this morning, and marveling that
no one has ventured to lock them. They do seem daunting, because
of the proprietary nature of the information and the huge field of 
companies and institutions involved. For $200, would
you be satisfied with a comprehensive listing and analysis of
"exclusive executive retreats?" cath-ga

No.  I do not think the retreats (or rsorts) will help me.  Unless,
that is, I don't clearly understand what you are offering to do???

I've already got the "World's Best List" of Hotels, Resorts, etc.... 

What I need to know is WHO is purchasing these exclusive retreats
and/or VIP very high end, Biz Excursion/Vacation packages, etc.  As
well as WHAT it is that makes them select one retreat/vacation package
over the other... WHAT are the unique elements that are
attracting/interesting them enough to spend the big bucks?
 
package/what it is And WHAT it is that is interesting them about the
particular packages they are buying.

I want to know who the consumer/customer is -- the corporation who is
making the purchases....

I want to know WHO the corporations are that make up this very
exclusive target market.
