Pre-registration is now open through the website cumbremundialdeastroturismo.com.
Since 2015, the commune of Vicuña has been working consistently to position itself as the "World Capital of Astronomy". Actions such as the "Month of the Stars", which is celebrated in October, high-visibility talks with Professor José Maza, and the creation of a municipal ordinance on dark skies, are now added to the World Astrotourism Summit.
The event, which will take place between 6 and 9 September with the presence of more than 40 national and international exhibitors, was officially launched on Monday at the Costa Real Hotel in La Serena. Present at the event were the Presidential Delegate Rubén Quezada, the Mayor of Vicuña Rafael Vera Castillo, the Regional Director of Corfo Andrés Zurita, the Regional Director of Sernatur Angélica Funes, and local tourism entrepreneurs.
