Papers & Publications : Tourism : Market Research

Published:	1995

Origin:	AAS paper no AAS 95-605, AAS Vol 91, pp 601-610.

Abstract:	In 1995 market research on the potential demand for space tourism has been carried out in the USA and Canada, supported by the National Aerospace Laboratory in Japan. Although estimates have been published before, this is the first actual market research of its type to be done on the North American market. This paper describes the research, and compares the data with earlier research conducted in Japan. Although there are a number of differences in the results, they are broadly comparable to those in Japan, which suggests that space tourism services would also be very popular in North America. The paper then considers the implications of this research for future space activities and space transportation systems.
