IAU OAD Astrotourism — mission and approach

← Resources Library  |  Official guides & frameworks

The conceptual foundation of the IAU OAD astrotourism flagship: how astronomy and tourism combine to catalyse socioeconomic development, why most astronomical facilities sit in rural or underserved areas, and how to democratise the benefits of astronomy-based tourism so that they reach the communities who live closest to the sky rather than remaining concentrated among highly educated urban audiences.
