However, that sci-fi notion might not be as far off as you would think, as the Russian space agency has announced its intention to build a luxury space hotel as an offshoot of the International Space Station. According to a report from Russian Space Web, the luxury space hotel would offer private cabins with big windows, personal hygiene facilities, exercise equipment, and Wi-Fi. The experience would also offer guided spacewalks around the exterior of the ISS. To be sure, the space hotel is currently just a plan, but if it comes to fruition, the trip would cost a total of $40 million. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Space Tourism:** The concept of space tourism is steadily gaining popularity and presents an opportunity for the development of ultra-luxury space hotels. - **Luxury Space Experiences:** The emergence of luxury space hotels provides consumers with the opportunity to have unique and extravagant experiences in outer space. - **Private Space Accommodation:** The development of private cabins and facilities in space hotels allows for exclusive and personalized accommodations for space tourists. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry has the potential to expand into space tourism by offering luxurious accommodations and experiences in space hotels. - **Space Exploration:** The space exploration industry can explore disruptive innovations by venturing into the creation and operation of ultra-luxury space hotels. - **Technology:** The development of luxury space hotels requires advancements in technology, such as improved hygiene facilities, exercise equipment, and Wi-Fi connectivity, creating opportunities for the technology industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Shapeshifting Outer Space Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acromnia-orbital-hotel.md) - [Exclusive Luxurious Spaceflight Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-space-perspective.md) - [Sky-Based Hotel Aircrafts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nuclearpowered-sky-hotel.md) - [Space Tourism Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-perspective-1.md) - [Space Exploration Hotel Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uplift-aerospace.md) - [Multi-Level Orbital Modules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbital-module.md) - [Mobile Otherworldly Hotel Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tesla-mobile-resort-hotel.md) - [Accessible Space Travel Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-elevator-concept.md) - [Galactic Atmosphere Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacevip.md)
