Another company enters the terrestrial space tourism market

11.15.07

For a number of years companies like Space Adventures and Incredible Adventures have offered terrestrial analogues to spaceflight, including zero-g airplane flights, high-altitude jet flights, and cosmonaut training. Now another company, G.A.P Adventures, is entering the market, offering a similar suite of experiences. The company, which already offers a wide range of adventure tourism, sees space as a natural extension: “For G.A.P Adventures it was never a question of if we could provide our travellers with the experience of undertaking space travel, but when,” said the company’s CEO, Bruce Poon Tip.
