What does it mean to belong to the Starlight Accommodation Network? How can the night sky help establishments? What advantages does the Starlight certificate have for a hotel or rural house? All these questions and many more will be answered at the I Meeting of the Starlight Accommodation Network that will take place virtually on April 8, 2021.
The challenges of astrotourism in 2021 and how the accommodations of the Starlight Network can take advantage of the potential of the night sky for their own economic development will be presented in this meeting organized and coordinated by the Starlight Foundation.
Starlight Certification for Rural Hotels and Houses is a qualification awarded by the Starlight Foundation to those establishments which, as well as offering accredited quality accommodation, also become involved as active agents in the promotion of the values contained in the “Declaration in Defense of the Night Sky and the Right to Starlight” (“La Palma Declaration”) and which provide their customers with information about Starlight as well as means and instruments for astronomical observation.
