Journal of Tourism Management Research, 2014, vol. 1, issue 2, 75-82

Abstract: The move to bring space tourism into Malaysia is not something new to the country. The idea has caught the attention of the mass media way before the successful return of our Angkasawan Negara. The hype of this idea is not of the interest of this paper. This paper is more fascinated to understand the relationship between space tourism and space industry. Thus, this paper aims to study the possible implications of space tourism to the development of space industry in Malaysia. The study is basically undertaken based on papers written locally and internationally in regards to the topic. Analyses are made thereupon to deduce all possible implications and hence leading to the final conclusion. This paper will suggest the right stand that Malaysia should take in dealing with space tourism proposals.
