Astrotourism and Local Economic Development
sustainable tourism for rural territories
As developing urban areas continue to grow rapidly, light pollution is destroying our cosmic heritage. The once-pristine night skies that inspired ancient civilizations are disappearing, affecting wildlife, human health, and scientific discovery. Preserving dark skies is no longer a luxury — it’s a necessity.
At Starhunter, we are dedicated to preserve Malaysia’s night skies and advancing astrotourism as a bridge to celestial wonder. Our Astrotourism & Dark Sky Preservation Initiative unites stargazers, astrophotographers, governments, and tourism entrepreneurs to shape a sustainable future for astrotourism—where people and the night sky can thrive together.
