'''Mars tourism''' is an exotic challenge for rich extreme tourists from [[Earth]]. An all-inclusive tour to [[Mars]] consists of an extended [[space travel]] (back and forth), a temporary integration in the Martian [[population]], optionally with hard work experience and optionally with safari.

An important precondition is an interplanetary space ship with good [[radiation]] shielding to minimize the danger of DNA damage and cancer.

This idea is also a possible business model for investors and can be part of the [[Earth-Mars Trade]].
