This week FASTTRACK is in what's often been described as a holiday paradise for the rich and famous. Cannes (pictured) is the home of glitz, glamour, private yachts and beach front villas and the team drops in to visit the fifth International Luxury Travel Market (see ON TOUR). Carmen Roberts talks to some of the high rollers, many of whom would think nothing of blowing a few thousand dollars at the casino tables in Cannes in the hope of wining a fortune. Over in Los Angeles, however, the chance of winning even a fridge or a car has people literally queuing up to take part in 'The Price Is Right' which has become an American television institution, as Tayfun King reports.
