This book studies the space tourism value chain from the perspective of demand research of space tourism. It echoes the progress of tourism demand research by tourism experts, avoids the shortcomings that arise when general tourism research methods are applied to space tourism research, and constructs innovative demand research ideas for space tourism. In the book, ten questions and one suggestion are put forward for space tourism demand research as the main discussion content of each chapter. As a demand research monograph, tourism scholars, marketing scholars and economists can understand the content of this book very well. But for all those concerned with space tourism, this book can be read to review the general tourism theories. The book makes extensive use of systematic literature review methodology, which can be used as an effective reference for research. This book opens up new dimensions for demand studies in the context of space tourism.
