This paper analyses the concept of space tourism in terms of methods required to conduct such activities within the scope of international law. It highlights challenges that emerge for the international space law, especially regarding the suborbital flights. It’s not clear from the point of view of international law which legal regime might be applicable to such endeavor. Unlike any other space flights, suborbital flights consists both of elements from international aviation law and international space law. This paper discuss hypothetical solutions to potential conflicts of law that may arise in connection to such activities. It also aims to provide clarity to ambiguities regarding international law in this area.
