Sustainable Space Tourism

Rezensionen / Stimmen

This timely and comprehensive book takes us on an intriguing journey, successfully capturing the exciting anticipation of space tourism while at the same time highlighting the many potential challenges for the natural, social and political environments likely to be encountered in the harnessing of space travel as the ultimate tourist activity. * Rob Davidson, University of Greenwich, UK * Futures arguments are brave endeavours; forgotten and considered irrelevant quickly if proven wrong, but visionary classics if proven right - my bet: this book falls into the second category. In a time where negative impacts stemming from tourism activities seriously challenge earth's wellbeing, this book combines space tourism, sustainability, and futures research in a comprehensive and convincing manner. A 'must-read' for tree-hugging 'Doctor Who' fans like myself. * Johan R. Edelheim, Hokkaido University, Japan * The book by Annette Toivonen does an excellent job in introducing the readers to the fundamental issues of space tourism [...] it can serve as an excellent introductory text for undergraduate and graduate students, interested in the brave new world of space tourism. Additionally, it can inspire further research in the field. -- Stanislav Ivanov, Varna University of Management, Bulgaria * Journal of Tourism Futures, Vol. 8 No. 1, 2022 *
