MARKETING CAPACITY IN ENSURING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SPACE TOURISM MARKET

Keywords: tourism, space, space tourism, marketing analysis, marketing potential, marketing segmentation

Abstract

The study is devoted to the analysis of the capacity of marketing to ensure the development of the space tourism market. To achieve the goal the authors used the following methods: historical, logical generalization, scientific abstraction, analysis, and synthesis. The article determines that the economic growth of the space tourism market depends on its ability to effectively respond to endogenous and exogenous factors of the marketing environment. Thus, the world market of space tourism, on the one hand, contributes to the social development of society and acts as a catalyst for structural transformations in the economy, and on the other hand, it contributes to the acceleration of the processes of formation, exchange, and use of human capital, information and technologies in global space. Changes in the principles, mechanisms, and conditions of functioning of the world market of space tourism are caused by the diversification of factors affecting its development. The authors identify the main motivational factors of space tourists. They reveal how companies providing space tourism services create an environment that evokes completely new levels of emotions in a person. The authors carried out the marketing analysis of segmentation variables in the space tourism market (terrestrial and cyberspace tourism; atmospheric and suborbital tourism; orbital space tourism; space travel beyond the Earth's orbit), and identified the main differences in providing space tourism services in each of the specified segments. Emphasis is placed on the fact that the space tourism market is customer-oriented and the modern economic mechanism of its market development is based on the concept of marketing with adapted main elements. The conducted analysis allows us to confirm that the market of space tourism has a huge potential. Considering that the availability of space tourism due to financial factors can significantly increase in the next decade, it is necessary to develop a new client base, involving innovative marketing communications and technologies. Space travel has become a reality, in the near future space tourism will become massive, and the industry of space experiences will develop at an accelerated pace, stimulating the emergence of other profitable submarkets.
