Fourth International Conference on Tourism and Leisure Studies

Abstract

Space tourism is one of the most heated subjects of the modern day. With its expected economic, environmental and social benefits and costs, it raises a lot of questions, to which people seek answers from different sources and generate social representations. Nonetheless, general public perception, attitude and support for scientific space travel and civilians’ space tourism have received minimal attention thus far. The current study aimed to measure general American public’s perceptions, attitude and support for space travel. Using Qualtrics, a structured survey was designed to investigate information these variables. The results will be shared at the conference.
