A Beijing-based travel agency promoting space tours has failed to receive any applicants, the Shanghai Daily reported. A US$20 million holiday package will take tourists into space for several days with astronauts, according to the newspaper.
The other option is a CNY88,888 (US$13,000) tour involving a trip to the NASA headquarters in the US, where visitors can experience zero-gravity capsule.
The travel agency’s three outlets in Shanghai, Beijing and Tianjin have not received a single inquiry about the trips, an official with the travel agency reportedly told the Youth Daily newspaper.
