A Review of Space Tourism Services: Supply and Demand Challenges
Abstract
In recent years, services have become a major factor in the development of a particular economic unit, both in national and global aspect. The intensive diversification of services leads to the emergence of new and still unfilled niches in the sector, which are attractive markets for potential sellers and buyers. Expanding human needs stimulates a number of companies and research institutes to seek adequate proposals for the emerging demand. Technology developments and transport communications open new horizons in the services market. It is no longer enough to travel around the Earth with a ship, a plane or a balloon. A new need arises - a flight into space. In this regard, the aim of the research is to present the challenges of supply and demand in the space tourism services.
