Publication Top Notes

1. From Holocene to Anthropocene: A Spacetime Perspective on the Ontology, Epistemology, and Methodology of Space Tourism

Journal: Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Management
Publication Date: June 2025
DOI: 10.1016/j.jhtm.2025.101304
Authors: Kang-Lin Peng, Myung Ja Kim, Zhilun Huang, Ivan K.W. Lai, Xi Ji

Summary:
This interdisciplinary paper applies a spacetime framework to critically examine the conceptual foundations of space tourism. It traces the transition from the Holocene to the Anthropocene, arguing that tourism beyond Earth must be reimagined both philosophically and practically. The study explores:

  • Ontology: What space tourism is in the context of human evolution and technological progression.

  • Epistemology: How we know and interpret space tourism in the academic and social discourse.

  • Methodology: Innovative approaches to studying tourism in extraterrestrial environments.

The authors advocate for a new paradigm of tourism studies that integrates environmental, cosmic, and intertemporal dimensions, reflecting the unique realities of the Anthropocene era.

2. Beyond Earth: Comparing Rational and Behavioral Mediators in Space Tourism Intentions

Journal: Journal of Quality Assurance in Hospitality & Tourism
Publication Date: May 12, 2025
DOI: 10.1080/1528008X.2025.2504448
Authors: Zhilun Huang, Kang-Lin Peng, Ya Wang, Hanqin Qiu

Summary:
This empirical research investigates factors influencing consumer intentions to engage in space tourism, with a focus on both rational (e.g., cost, safety, utility) and behavioral (e.g., emotion, social influence, excitement) mediators. The study utilizes:

  • Structural equation modeling (SEM)

  • Surveys and psychographic data

  • A comparative analysis of cognitive vs. affective drivers in consumer behavior

The findings suggest that while rational concerns remain important, behavioral mediators like awe, novelty-seeking, and social identity play a significantly larger role in shaping space tourism intentions. This offers strategic insight for marketers and policymakers in space-related hospitality.
