space + tourism? --Hekaheka 01:07, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
- AFAICT it's sum of parts, but I'm not as sure as I would like to be. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:22, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
- I doubt our definition is right: travel for business purposes is "tourism"? If, as I suspect, it just means tourism in space, then delete. Equinox ◑ 16:27, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
- Hekaheka, I don't agree with your edit summary. :) It is a reality, although not as common. You don't like my Finnish translation requests? Keep this entry. We do have sex tourism and extreme sport and other types multipart words and the space tourism is hard to describe as just tourism. It envolves a lot of long and special training, extreme danger and a heavy price tag. Feel free to rewrite the definition. --Anatoli 22:03, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
- I have no problem with fi translation requests. I do about 20...30 of them every week. I'm against SoP entries. Btw, can you give a quotation in which traveling to space for business is called "space tourism"? If not, this is unattestable usage and should not enter Wiktionary. --Hekaheka 22:14, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
- "Sex tourism" isn't the same. It isn't tourism to sex or in sex. It isn't even tourism for sex, because it isn't truly tourism. It's something more. Equinox ◑ 00:02, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
- Re: "sex tourism": But tourism is used in a number of such compounds, including sexual tourism, medical tourism, health tourism, surgical tourism (rare), and business tourism. Perhaps tourism is not used alone with such meanings, but even so, we'd be remiss if [[tourism]] didn't cover it. —RuakhTALK 01:06, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
- I read the summary too quickly "...to space is quite unlikely in near future". I see what you mean. The definition was from Wikipedia, as I said we may need to rewrite it. --Anatoli 22:57, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

- Keep. It's not tourism to the wide open space of a steppe or some other place one can go when they 'need some space'. Arizona is seeking to become a space tourism hub because you can launch rockets beyond the atmosphere from there, not because you have room to stretch and spin around. bd2412 T 18:43, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
