Terrorism Tourism

A person who when terrorism or a natural disaster strikes does not see pain and suffering caused to a city or nation but rather an opportunity, an opportunity for cheap flights and hotel whilst a country mourns the death toll and destruction.

Moon Tourism

Commercial travel to the Moon or its immediate vicinity, offered by emerging private spaceflight companies. Unlike orbital space tourism (which stays in Earth orbit), moon tourism aims to take paying customers to lunar orbit, and eventually to the surface. The experience includes seeing Earth rise over the lunar horizon, experiencing reduced gravity, and being part of a very exclusive club. Currently the domain of billionaires and extreme adventure seekers, moon tourism represents the next frontier of luxury travel, though critics call it a vanity project for the ultra‑rich while Earth burns.
Example: “He spent his crypto fortune on a moon tourism ticket—a week in lunar orbit for the price of a small country’s GDP.”

ISS Tourism

Space orbit tourism specifically to the International Space Station (ISS). Private individuals can pay for a trip to the ISS via companies like SpaceX or Roscosmos, staying for up to a few weeks as “spaceflight participants.” They live and work alongside professional astronauts, conduct educational outreach, and experience life in the only permanent human habitat off Earth. ISS tourism is extremely expensive (tens of millions of dollars) and requires months of training. It’s the closest most people will ever get to being an astronaut, though critics argue the ISS should be reserved for scientific research.
Example: “His ISS tourism trip cost more than most people’s lifetime earnings, but he got to float in the Cupola, take photos of Earth, and eat rehydrated ice cream.”

Mars Tourism

The industry and culture of visiting Mars for leisure, exploration, and experience. Mars tourism encompasses travel, accommodations, surface tours, and activities such as canyon hiking, fossil hunting (if any exist), and photography. The industry faces immense challenges: radiation, low gravity, dust, and the psychological toll of long isolation. Early Mars tourism will be dominated by a few wealthy adventurers, but as technology improves, package tours, educational trips, and even budget options may emerge. Mars tourism is the holy grail of space tourism advocates.
Example: “The Mars tourism brochure featured a rover tour of Valles Marineris, a sunset climb of Olympus Mons, and a stay in a pressurized habitat. She signed up immediately.”

Moon Orbit Tourism

A specific form of moon tourism that takes passengers into lunar orbit without landing on the surface. The most famous example is the planned Artemis II mission, which will send astronauts around the Moon and back. For private tourists, companies like SpaceX have proposed similar “free‑return trajectory” flights: a loop around the far side of the Moon, offering stunning views and days of weightlessness. Moon orbit tourism is technically simpler than landing, making it the likely first step for commercial lunar trips. It offers the thrill of seeing the Moon up close and Earth as a distant marble.
Example: “She booked a moon orbit tourism flight for 2028—no landing, just a slingshot around the far side and back. Enough to say she’d left Earth behind.”
