Space Tourism

Added: (Wed Jan 07 2009)

Pressbox (Press Release) - Adventure tourism, such as trips to Antarctica or Mount Everest, has
long been a profitable business. This can involve packages with prices
as high as £100k and even higher.
In recent years you may have heard of a newly emerging adventure niche,
space tourism. The development of space tourism will follow the normal
course of development seen for almost all consumer technologies and
services.

Regular tourism itself began as something only accessisble to the
wealthy, passenger flights on airlines were initially very expensive.
VCRs, DVDs, PCs, etc. all started out as very expensive "toys".
Eventually competition and economies of scale (i.e. mass production)
take over and prices drop to a level everyone can handle.

Space tourism has been criticized as being a "playground for the rich."
and, while there may be some current truth to this, the vision for the
future is to make space tourism affordable and available to everyone in
just a few short years.

Are you tired of Disneyland and Magic Mountain? Been to all the major
continents and want more? Done all of the extreme sports and just can't
get that adrenaline rush anymore? Space tourism may just be the Next Big
Thing on your agenda in the not too distant future.

The team at Voyage2Space have leaped forward a few years with the launch
of www.voyage2space.com, a competition which will see someone visit
space for just £10.

So, if you've got the bug to travel and have always dreamed of going
beyond the confines of Earth, then all you have to do is enter the
competition at www.voyage2space.com.
