STARS ACTIVITIES

The Solomon team developed «Sustainable Tourism Agents in Rural Societies (STARS) in astro tourism» multiplier course on the 2nd of March 2023.

A 1-day workshop was held for 31 young people from various youth organizations at National Youth Council to empower and create job opportunities for young people in rural settings.

The programme had two components: Community Based Tourism (CBT) and astro tourism. CBT focuses on identifying potential attraction sites as hiking and trekking routes to waterfalls and caves or historical sites whilst astro tourism is related to astronomy and astrology that can be recorded and documented.

The CBT initiative hopes to promote social sustainability by involving young people in local communities to assist: manage their own resources, provide meaningful employable opportunities, cultural preservations and engage in environmental conservation efforts.
