Astro Tourism explores the fast-emerging field of astronomical and dark sky tourism, showing how stargazing, night sky culture, and space related heritage connect science, sustainability, and tourism to create meaningful, educational, and transformative experiences.

Drawing on mixed methods research including global literature, case studies from established and emerging dark sky destinations, and interviews, the book examines the trends, motivations, policies, and challenges. It reveals how astro tourism strengthens rural economies, supports scientific literacy, and promotes environmentally responsible travel, while also addressing barriers such as commercialisation, inconsistent regulations, and infrastructure gaps. Presenting destinations across Asia, Africa, Latin America, and beyond, the book highlights how communities, technology, and policy contribute to responsible dark sky experiences.
