  • Science, Technology and Innovation on presentation of South Africa's National Astro-Tourism Strategy to Parliament

The article from Zawya discusses the presentation of South Africa's National Astro-Tourism Strategy, which was highlighted during a session at the 2023 Africa Travel Indaba. The strategy aims to leverage South Africa's unique astronomical assets, like the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) and the upcoming Square Kilometre Array (SKA), to boost tourism. It focuses on creating astro-tourism experiences that not only promote scientific education but also contribute to local economic development through job creation and community involvement. The strategy includes plans for developing astro-tourism infrastructure, training programs for guides, and marketing South Africa as a prime destination for stargazing and astronomical events. This initiative is part of a broader effort to diversify tourism offerings and enhance South Africa's appeal as a destination for both local and international tourists interested in science and nature.
