Hilton and the Future of Space Tourism
In an industry once dominated by scientists and astronauts, space tourism is now expanding to include commercial travelers. Here’s the text rewritten with shorter sentences:
Hilton’s partnership with Voyager Space, announced in 2022, aims to bring world-class hospitality into space travel. This collaboration seeks to revolutionize how travelers experience space.
This collaboration will ensure that every stage of an astronaut’s or tourist’s journey is infused with comfort, from pre-flight preparations to the in-space living experience. Hilton’s involvement in space tourism demonstrates a forward-thinking approach to hospitality, blending luxury with the excitement of space exploration.
“Our team is enthusiastic about the future of human space exploration and how hospitality has an opportunity to touch it all—from pre-flight training to the in-space experience, to our guests’ return to Earth,” said Larry Traxler, Senior Vice President of Global Design Services at Hilton.

Very very interesting and awe inspiring. But space tourism for Indians is still a dream due to its price.
Yes, still a dream for the average Indian, but let’s not forget India now boasts 334 billionaires and many more coming up. We are getting rich. Besides, who knows, India someday might have its own space travel program, I am sure it is going to be much cheaper, just like our Mars and Moon missions.
