Development of Astro Tourism in South West Asia

Scientific Tourism Chair of Armenian Institute of Tourism proposed a project for development of Astro Tourism in South West Asian (SWA) region. People usually travel to get acquainted with culture, history, art and architecture of the visited country or city. But why not to add astronomical interest to all that? Why not to visit , observatories, laboratories, science museums, planetariums and archaeastronomical sites. SWA has always been visible to the world due to its science and culture, for continuing this tradition we’re willing to create “SWA as AstroLand” tour package by grouping ancient and modern astronomical attractions of the region.
