WHY Astrotourism ?

Astrotourism refers to travel and tourism that focuses on experiencing the night sky and celestial objects, such as stars, planets, and galaxies. It's a form of sustainable tourism that aims to promote and preserve the natural beauty of the night sky while also offering visitors unique and memorable experiences. Astrotourism destinations may include dark sky reserves, observatories, planetariums, and other astronomy-related facilities, as well as outdoor spaces that provide clear views of the night sky, such as national parks and wilderness areas. Activities may include stargazing, night sky photography, guided tours, and educational programs about astronomy and the science of the universe. Astrotourism can be enjoyed by people of all ages and backgrounds, and it offers an opportunity to connect with nature, explore the mysteries of the cosmos, and gain a deeper appreciation for our place in the universe.
