Japan Today is reporting that JTB Corp. is planning to market space tours through Space Advenures. Here's the press release resealed by Space Advenures.


Now for anyone who knows the Japanese tourist business JTB is one of, if not the largest tour operator in Japan with a huge reach into the market. If any company can get tourist to sign up for a brief tour of space then it's JTB. This bodes well for Space Advenures and the space tourism industry in general.
