Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Astrotourism is a niche form of tourism that complements conventional tourism. Astrotourism’s development is especially important as science, scientific ethics, and scientific methodology are leading to prosperity and well-being in contemporary civilisation. The main aim of the paper is exploring the importance of destinations attributes to promote the sustainability of the tourism business, which can successfully lower management costs, enhance visitor experiences, and improve tourist experiences. Astrotourism, or tourism focused on stargazing and astronomical activities, is becoming increasingly popular as people seek to connect with the night sky and witness celestial wonders. When selecting an astrotourism site, some characteristics make a location particularly appealing. Here are some important characteristics that characterize a superb astrotourism destination: low light pollution, dark sky parks, good weather conditions, observatories and telescopes, stargazing, eclipses and all are essential to sustain a such type of astrotourism.
