TWINNEDbySTARS: Key Results Transforming Tourism in the Outermost Regions

The TWINNEDbySTARS project has generated concrete and transformative results for the tourism sector in Europe’s outermost regions. After months of work in collaboration with local stakeholders, businesses and experts, significant progress has been made, positioning these areas as benchmarks in innovative and sustainable tourism.

Tangible Results: Tourism Innovations and Transformative Experiences
Within the framework of the project, results have been generated that reflect the commitment to offer high quality products, focused on the integration of astronomy, navigation, education and local culture.

Astronavigation Experiences is a product that combines navigation and astronomy, two elements deeply linked to the history and cultural identity of the outermost regions. Designed to take advantage of the exceptional conditions of these territories, such as clear skies and low light pollution, this experience allows visitors to learn to orient themselves by following the stars, replicating techniques used by ancient navigators. Aboard traditional boats, participants not only enjoy the sea and the night sky, but also immerse themselves in local maritime history. Sessions include hands-on workshops teaching basic concepts of celestial navigation, historical accounts of how the stars guided explorers, and cultural activities linking astronomy and heritage. This product, more than a tourist experience, becomes a bridge between the past and the present, showing how local communities have used the sky as a resource for centuries.

On the other hand, the Internships and Knowledge Exchange product focuses on training and knowledge exchange, consolidating the foundations for sustainable and responsible tourism in the future. This programme creates opportunities for students, professionals and local entrepreneurs to work directly on real projects within tourism companies, gaining practical experience in the sector. It also fosters international collaboration by connecting participants from different outermost regions, allowing for the exchange of ideas and strategies adapted to local needs. The focus on sustainability and astro-tourism ensures that the knowledge acquired is aligned with current market trends and respect for the natural environment. In the long term, this product not only strengthens the competencies of participants, but also boosts the competitiveness of local businesses, preparing them to lead the tourism sector in their regions.

Regional and Global Impact: Beyond Traditional Tourism
The products developed not only offer unique experiences to visitors, but also generate a positive impact on local communities. Participating companies have highlighted how these initiatives have driven collaboration, innovation and sustainability in their operations. In addition, multi-destination products foster networked tourism, connecting the outermost regions and promoting their joint positioning in the global market.

The Future of TWINNEDbySTARS
As the project progresses, further stages of development and promotion of these tourism products are foreseen, with pilot tests, evaluations with real customers and internationalisation strategies. Work will also continue on strengthening local skills, ensuring that the outermost regions are prepared to lead in tourism that is both innovative and sustainable.
