Análisis de la oferta astroturística nacional y configuración de nuevas propuestas para las Islas Canarias

Abstract

La actividad astroturística tiende a ofertarse cada vez más a lo largo del territorio español, diversificando las posibilidades de los destinos y mejorando la optimización de todos sus recursos. Las Islas Canarias, en particular, tienen el honor de ser uno de los destinos más selectos en el campo del turismo astronómico por sus singulares condiciones atmosféricas, que permiten una excelente observación de los cielos y el disfrute del recurso celeste a través de múltiples modalidades.

The Astrotourism activity tends to be increasingly offered throughout the Spanish territory diversifying the possibilities of the destinations and improving the optimization of all its resources. The Canary Islands, particulary, have the honor of being one of the most select destinations in the field of astronomical tourism due to its unique atmospheric conditions, which allow an excellent observation of the skies and the enjoyment of the celestial resource through multiple modalities. As the Canary Islands are a reference point for Astrotourism, they must constantly aim at innovation and the development of the offer related with astronomical resources. This leads to the need of analyzing the astrotourism offer of other destinations nationally and internationally with the aim of establishing proposals to improve the management of their own resources, exploitation, design of activities and understanding of the current and future needs of the tourists.
