Dark Sky Ecotourism Guide and Self-Assessment Toolkit (Erasmus+ DARK SKY project)

← Resources Library  |  Community, training & events

A ninety-page practical guide designed for tourism businesses, education providers and the wider tourism ecosystem — DMOs, rural developers, tourism networks — introducing dark sky ecotourism and its capacity to transform regional tourism economies. It presents policy and market trends alongside case studies from five European countries (Denmark, Iceland, Ireland, Italy and Portugal) and is licensed CC BY-SA. The accompanying free toolkit lets a small operator assess the quality of their own night skies, which makes this the clearest ‘start here’ resource for SMEs and micro-enterprises, framed around evening and night-time activities rather than the usual daytime offer.
