Abstract

Authenticity (Rickly, 2019) and environment sustainability (PulidoFernandez et al., 2019) are both key contributors of tourismgrowth. Space Tourism. The Elusive Dream presents an authentic and still to be explored form of tourism. That said, space tourism, because of its cost, is currently accessible to a very limited number of tourists. Space tourism falls under the category of special interest tourism (SIT). SIT occurs “when the traveller’s motivation and decisionmaking are primarily determined by a particular special interest with a focus either on activity/ies and/or destinations and settings” (Trauer, 2006, p. 186).
