Cyprus has one of the clearest night skies as well as optimal geographical location in the world, offering great advantages for astrotourism development. The project aims in using a professional approach in astrotourism product research and development for Cyprus along with a high-end astrotourism policy and governance. The project will conduct research that will focus on “beyond the state-of-the-art” innovation in the field of astrotourism leading Cyprus to be added on the world map of the astrotourism “hot” destinations and creating the proper environment to host and offer astronomy experiences for both experts and enthusiasts at an entry level.
