Question Galactic Suite: space tourism, or space tourism scam?

This is “Galactic Suite”. It’s had this wikipedia page since 8/2007.

Though the pricetag of US$4 million per person for a 3 day stay is a bit out of my price range , it does sound lovely. It also sounds too good to be true, a suspicion voiced by many before me.

There doesn’t seem to be much verified information about the person and company behind this, Xavier Claramunt and Galactic Suite Limited, which furthers my suspicion that this is a slickly produced web-based scam, possibly one of a vanguard of coming wave of space tourism scams.

So, does anybody know anything about this?
