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.‬
