Abstract: This study represents an exploratory research, which aims to create an incipient theoretical framework for conceptualizing a new notion, namely that of exotourism. The new cosmic competition, which is different from the one during the Cold War, through its commercial and private character, generated a phenomenology associated with a new form of tourism, respectively trips for recreational purposes in the space, with private character, for which we propose the term ‘exotourism’. Thus, as objectives of this exploratory research we mention: testing a working definition, critical analysis of terminology and identifying the essential characteristics of exotourism, which would give scientific legitimacy to exotourism, as well as the emerging concept.
