space hotel
Vacuum tourism accommodation
A space hotel is a proposed commercial accommodation in Earth orbit, designed to host paying guests for tourism rather than scientific research.
The concept has appeared in science fiction and business plans since the late twentieth century, though none has yet operated: The company announced plans for a space hotel by 2030.
The term evokes luxury travel extended beyond the atmosphere.
