“…With the evolution of technology, the development of space tourism has gained in importance. There are several ways for space tourism to be developed (Table ), from space flights, the first tourist being Dennis Tito (Cater, ), to land‐based space tourism, and the latter is the focus of our study. According to Jafari (:56),
tourism—both in theory and practice—actually becomes an important means connecting the two domains of earth and sky , allowing people to experience diversity and richness of life here and to literally touch the stars above , soon for in‐situ space visits .

Nowadays, there are organized visits, such as cruises and tours, to see the launch of shuttle flights, and there are some ‘space tourism tour operators’ emerging and creating a large range of diversified products (Cater, ). But the preservation of starlight as a world heritage phenomenon is very recent.…”

“…Therefore space tourists may be considered private space explorer, while it is important for professional cosmonauts otherwise, as commercial astronaut which brings substantial/missing money for the realization of cosmic program. The first space tourists flew in 2001, followed by a series of papers of authors who saw in it the realization of age-old dream of man and the beginning of a new era in the development of tourism (Меркалова, 2008;Crouch et al, 2009;Cater, 2010;Reddy, Nica and Wilkes, 2012;Von der Dunk, 2012;Webber, 2013;Chang, 2015).…”

Do nowych trendów należy astroturystyka (turystyka astronomiczna), oparta o racjonalne i efektywne wykorzystanie dostępnych zasobów przyrodniczych i technologii oraz o minimalizowanie niekorzystnego oddziaływania człowieka na środowisko przyrodnicze, przy jednoczesnym zaspokajaniu społecznych i ekologicznych potrzeb turystów (DUVAL 2005, CATER 2010, FAYOS-SOLÁ, MARÍN, JAFARI 2014. Coraz więcej turystów wybiera wypoczynek, nastawiając się na aktywne poznawanie i odkrywanie -3 E (entertainment, excitement, education; por.…”
