Abstract:
The Chang'E I Lunar detector orbiting the moon has strongly stimulated Chinese e nthusiasm for space traveling. Space traveling has turned from ancient myth to t oday's reality. The development of space traveling will certainly challenge Chin a's tourist market, tourist policies and relevant laws and systems. The serious problems at present are the lagging behind of the development of space tourist p roducts, the lack of international cooperation in space tourism and the lack of insurance, laws for space tourism. Therefore, the Chinese government and departm ents concerned should work every effort to readjust policies in the field of spa ce tourism. There are indeed a lot to do, such as perfecting the legislature, mo re international cooperation and coordination, and scientific standardization.
