I can't buy a $13 cellphone case without looking at the reviews. I can't imagine buying any kind of travel without doing the same. To hand over money to a company that hasn't had a single customer - ridiculous.
Then again, I guess I'm not their target market:
"I lost large sums of money twice in my life by trusting people to do what they promised. I did not want to risk a third financial disaster."
There's too many failed grand ideas like this. Fyre comes to mind. Even if they're not outright scams, I need to know the person is capable of organizing a successful event. I've been to a bunch of tech conferences which were poorly organized because the hosts just didn't have enough experience. Can't imagine something bigger like this
