This study represents an exploratory research, which aims to create an incipient theoretical framework forconceptualizing a new notion, namely that of exotourism. The new cosmic competition, which is different from theone during the Cold War, through its commercial and private character, generated a phenomenology associatedwith a new form of tourism, respectively trips for recreational purposes in the space, with private character, forwhich we propose the term ‘exotourism’. Thus, as objectives of this exploratory research we mention: testing aworking definition, critical analysis of terminology and identifying the essential characteristics of exotourism,which would give scientific legitimacy to exotourism, as well as the emerging concept.
