“Responsible Space Tourism”
Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences (Finland) 2019 -
The space tourism module is divided into six units, with the first half going through the status of the current industry in terms of technical aspects, followed by the ethical concerns and company responsibility factors and then moving on to explore issues related to economic sustainability in space tourism.
The other half provides aspects related to environmental sustainability, space tourism legislation and lastly provides insights for understanding weak signals and future scenario planning in form of sustainability. At the end of the module, students will have gained an understanding of a new framework research tool (Toivonen, 2017) used for designing a sustainable future in the tourism industry and also valuable space tourism knowledge.
