Dark Sky Tourism Is On The Rise

UNITED STATES, JUL 14 – International Dark Sky parks in multiple states attract tourists seeking low light pollution and clear night skies, making stargazing a key travel trend in 2025.

  • With dark skies among 2025’s top travel trends, travellers are flocking to award-winning International Dark Sky destinations.
  • Nearly two-thirds of travelers considered night experiences last year, as a Booking.com survey last year found, driven by growing light pollution and shifting interests.
  • On weekends, Dr. Lawless County Park in Jones, Michigan opens until 2 a.m., while Cottonwood, Arizona, is one of 56 International Dark Sky communities and Curecanti National Recreation Area in Gunnison, Colorado, holds a Dark Sky Park designation.
  • According to operators, Jason Stevens, CEO of Wayfairer, says it’s taken off in the past year, with 86% of customers witnessing the aurora last season, partly thanks to remote camps.
  • Noctourism offers a fresh lens on overcrowded destinations, poised to reshape travel perspectives in 2025.
