Night Sky Tourism ?
• In 2014, final year marketing students went to work for CENTROC and Central West Tourism
• The project/brief was to investigate night sky tourism and the potential to leverage existing properties including the “Unearth” campaign.
• Findings ? Clever collaborations, opportunities in search, social media and technology.

Night Sky Tourism - The Process
• Get a brief, launch it to the students
• Jenny Bennett (CENTROC) and Lucy White (CW Tourism) meet with students and speak to the brief
• Students in teams, address the brief using a structure which reflects the learning objectives of the subject and assessment requirements
• Students in teams present their findings and recommendations to the client (BRC Chambers in 2014)

Unearth the Night Sky
• Central NSW has an enormous number of natural tourism assets which Other assets which, following development, could be strong supporting magnets for the top ten assets as listed in the Destination Management Plan (DMP).
• The night sky is one such asset – a magnificent natural wonder not available to city residents, and one which offers opportunities for activity providers and for aboriginal interpretation.
• At 30 degrees latitude, Central NSW provides one of the best views into the heart of the Milky Way.
• ¾ of the 2,000 Pulsars (neutron stars) in our nightsky were discovered in Central NSW.
• The Dish is recognised by the Wiradjuri people as the ‘Big Ear’
• Aboriginal Dreaming and the night sky.

STRATEGY
Niche Market
Low Cost
International Targeting
Promote Central West’s Assets
Low cost because as our findings mentioned our audiences like
value for money. This only includes the activity or service as consumers don’t consider travel
and accommodation
