Tourism/Hospitality

Space Tourism has now come to stay. Different agencies would offer different numbers of experiences…mostly offering sub-orbital flights of few minutes but some offering varying orbiting experiences too. Although the costs of the flights will vary with varying agencies offering it, it is going to be fortunes for many but some may not mind spending.

Tawang has heightened military activities in the recent months and years. Accordingly, media person influx as well as tourism has assumed more interest. There are spurt in almost all related activities ranging from infrastructure to employment. Tawang itself is located on steep-sloped lush green mountains that must not be laden with the dense infrastructure of the likes of Joshimath.

Indian Railway's Chenab Bridge has great potential to bring India onto the world map of tourism, creating the ‘Eighth Wonder of the World’, the most sought-after destination of global tourism. It is only hoped that Govt of India, Ministry of Railways, Tourism, hospitality, Adventure Sports and so on, jointly exploit this potential that will also provide jobs to thousands and bring huge revenue to the State.

the options for utilising the ISS for tourism have challenges but is certainly feasible. Will Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson or Elon Musk utilize the concept of ‘Star Hotel in Heaven’, remains to be seen. If not, they may have to modify their crafts for better comfort and luxury, for prolonged durations of ventures to orbital flights or longer flights of one or more circles of the Earth, for the tourists to be able to view Sunset/Sunrise, changing perspective of the Earth for lasting memories.

Joshimath located on the steep slopes of Auli Mountain is highly unplanned with overcrowding of dwellings. Those constructions weigh many times more than the sloped-surface can bear. In addition, natural sub-soil waters and lack of drainage system have made sub-soil slide with the slightest excitation/trigger caused by the tremors in this Gr-V seismic zone. There is strong apprehension of it grabbing another headlines soon with even moderate tremors striking the region.

India under Modi Govt has taken recourse to Atmnirbhar plans in which Vande Bharat surely has a bright future. It serves the imaginations of the people, reduces travel time by half, cuts the import cost, boosts the Indian economy and takes the nation to a new age.

All Space Tourists will have some minimum expectations of fulfilling some as mentioned above esp when you pay fortunes. In Virgin Galactic the microgravity is of limited period, space in the cabin isn’t enough to float freely. The firm isn’t trying to give you glimpses of sunrise or sunset.
