Growing your Tourism Business using the Night Sky:
An Introduction to Astronomy Tourism
Embedded Files
Hello!
I'm Catherine - currently a Professor of Astronomy at UNISA but also a Northern Cape tourist guide who has run a profitable tourism business. I'll be presenting a short course in Astrotourism (tourism that involves the night sky).
The Northern Cape hosts some of the largest telescopes in the world and South Africa is one of the best Astrotourism destinations.
Guides can grow a business by including stargazing and other Astronomy activities in their tour offerings. I will explain how! (Note investment in expensive equipment is not required)
The course will start online. There will be 2 sessions:
13th Nov 6-7pm
16th Nov 4-5pm
Each session will be recorded so if you miss it, you can download the recording (this is not recommended, though)
Participants will then be invited to apply for in-person training to be held at different sites in the Northern Cape.
The price: FREE! (Thanks to UNISA in collaboration with Northern Cape DEDAT )
