South Africa to Launch its National Astro-Tourism Strategy
The South Africa Department of Tourism, in collaboration with the Department of Science and Innovation (DSI), will launch the country’s astro-tourism strategy at this year’s National Tourism Day celebration, which will take place on September 27, 2024. The launch will happen in the Northern Cape province, where MeerKAT, a cutting-edge radio telescope array, is located. MeerKAT will be part of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project, soon to be the world’s most powerful radio telescope.
