Places in space
Article Abstract:
The tourism potential of space will be realized as soon as a safe, affordable and reliable means of space transportation is devised. Constructing 'space resorts' can be done by integrating such leisure concepts to industrial and research space facilities and can be done cost-effectively by using existing technologies from the International Space Station program.

Let me take you there: let me be your tour guide to outer space
Article Abstract:
Astronaut Byron K. Lichtenberg believes that the slow progression from advances in sub-orbital flight to orbital flight will provide the impetus for space tourism. Space tourism is only a matter of reducing the cost and complexity of space flight for the average person, and the best way to do so is to encourage private participation in space flight research.
