Everyone knows Hong Kong is a travel and tourism hub. But did you know it is about to become a hub … for Space Tourism?!? Yes, Hong Kong is on the leading edge of the emerging space tourism business.

Join us for this month's exciting Pioneering the Space Economy webinar as OASA interviews Mr. Alex Lee, General Manager of Miramar Travel, which in 2009 won a highly-coveted, exclusive appointment as Virgin Galactic's first and only Accredited Space Agent in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia and Taiwan. Miramar Travel has been taking reservations for Virgin Galactic's suborbital space flights, proving that the space tourism economy — which UBS estimates will generate US$3 billion a year by 2030 — has truly arrived in HK. Joining Alex is another innovator, Prof. Lisa Wan, a leading researcher in robot-human interactions and tourism marketing, which will be essential topics for the future development of space tourism business.
