Dubai:
A Canadian architectural company, Moon World Resorts, has proposed to build the resort over a period of four years to offer guests "affordable space tourism on ground", said a report published by the Arabian Business magazine . They are also planning similar destinations in Singapore, Spain and the US.
The most distinctive feature of the resorts will be a replica of the lunar surface, which guests will be allowed to explore using shuttles.
“Moon can accommodate 2.5 million annual guest astronauts onto its lunar surface ... with space tourism finally taking off -- with its associated prohibitive cost to participate -- Moon’s timing is perfect," Moon World Resorts co-founder Michael Henderson was quoted as saying by Forbes magazine.
Opening the resorts would require a year-long planning program and four years of construction. They could open by 2027-28.
