우주관광객의 동기: Maslow와 Plog 모형의 적용

초록

This paper is an exploratory study considering the prospects for growth of space tourism. In this context, this study offered definitions for the new sector of space tourism and investigated various types of space tourism. Drawing upon Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory and Plog’s psychographics model, this study examined the space tourists’ motivations. Furthermore, the integration model was proposed to practical issues in tourist management. Consequently, the results show the importance of terrestrial space tourism attractions like Naro Space Center as a vital base for the development of sub-orbital and orbital space tourism in the future. This paper also offers a good understanding of space tourism market by discussing theoretical applications.
