MADRID and MARBELLA, Spain, Sept. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Conceived under the slogan "Tourism beyond natural borders", each year at the autumn equinox, SUTUS ("Space & Underwater Tourism Universal Summit") becomes the focus of the emerging space and underwater tourism sector, where innovative projects and startups showcase their solutions to the challenges that lie ahead in the coming decades. Questions like "what is the next step for private space travel?", "Is it possible to grow seeds on the moon?", "How are non-professional astronauts trained?", "Can we live underwater?" and, "What archaeological treasures do our oceans hold?" take center stage in one of the most fascinating tourist industry events. SUTUS is the only tourism industry-focused event in the world that brings together representatives from the most cutting-edge projects related to space and oceanographic exploration, among them Sam Scimemi (NASA), Bernard Foing (ESA), Tony Gannon (Space Florida), Hiroko Ajusakura (JAXA), Fabien Cousteau (Proteus), Aaron Olivera (Earth300) and Héctor Salvador (Tritón Submarines).

According to Carlos Díez de la Lastra, Managing Director of Les Roches Marbella, in the next decade tourism will conquer space and the depths of the Earth's oceans "We know that space tourism could grow by around 17% each year in the next decade. It is a staggering number. We are in one of the most exciting times in the industry, and we have an opportunity to train those who will be its leaders. Les Roches is one of the three best universities in the world in the training of management professionals for the hotel and tourism sectors, and SUTUS serves to draw their attention to one of the areas the industry still has to explore."

In total, SUTUS 2021 brought together more than 500 professionals from 43 countries and aroused the interest of media spanning all five continents. The event's success reinforces and position Les Roches at the forefront of specialized hospitality education.
SUTUS 2021. An international team

During the three-day conference, more than 500 attendees followed top-level international speakers on space tourism from NASA, ESA, JAXA, Axiom Space, Space Perspective, Space VIP, Space Florida, and other companies. Also participating were Spanish startups Zero 2 Infinity and Green Moon Project, whose international recognition within the private space industry was given a platform to introduce the broader tourism sector to their innovative projects.

SUTUS 2021 also featured Natalia Bayona, Director of Innovation, Education, and Investment at the World Tourism Organization. Bayona spoke about the importance of the oceans in tourism. Fabien Cousteau followed her lead by presenting his project, Proteus, built the international space station of the deep sea. Earth 300, another of the innovative projects featured at SUTUS 2021 and led by Aaron Olivera, plans to build seven underwater locations around the world. In addition, other speakers included underwater archaeologists Carlota Pérez-Reverte, Michele Stefanile, and Javier Noriega who presented the Costa del Sol project 'Senda Azul'.

The 2nd edition of SUTUS, held on Les Roches' campus, housed an extensive demo area where different companies, both national and international, exhibited various tech applications and educational tools related to tourism issues. Among these companies, the Chill-ICE habitat designed by ESA was exhibited in Marbella for the first time and was roundly considered a great success by the attendees. Also included in the demo area were the "City of Stars" portable education-focused planetarium, subaquatic drones, a zeppelin, models of spaceships, and virtual reality simulations.
