Stargazing: a role for astro-tourism in Cyprus

Who has not marvelled at the stars in the sky? Those who have seen them on a clear night will certainly want to see more, and those who haven’t are in for a great treat. Astro-tourism is the new travel trend, whereby tourists can hike by day and stargaze by night. The experience is at its best in the great outdoors where the light pollution of our towns and cities doesn’t obscure the stars.
A project funded by the European Regional Development Fund and the Cyprus government through the Research and Innovation Foundation hopes to promote this new sustainable tourism sector in Cyprus.
