This diploma thesis analyzes the actual travelling possibilities into space for space tourists. Following a general clarification of key concepts in the area of cosmonautics, aeronautical technology and physics as well as definition of space tourism and space tourist, this thesis deals with travelling to the International Space Station by means of the Russian spaceship Sojuz TMA. A review for the significant initiative Ansari X Prize follows, which became the moving power for emergence of private companies in the field of manned cosmonautics. After that, a cross-sectional analysis of the most successful space project in the Ansari X Prize Competition by Virgin Galactic, being the leader on the nascent market of commercial suborbital flights, is performed. Virgin Galactic offers its clients so called suborbital jumps on the threshold of space for the fragment of high price in comparison with a several-day stay on the ISS. The thesis is concluded by author's questionnaire involving two groups of experts: technical experts as well as marketing and product development professionals in the field of tourism.
