‘NOCTOURISM’ TO BE THE TRAVELING TREND OF 2025

This year, it is anticipated that an increasing number of travelers will turn their attention to ‘noctourism’, touring the wonders of nature at night. Exploring forests, deserts, mountains, and beaches under the cover of darkness often reveal a world that is rarely seen during the day, offering a deeper appreciation of the natural environment. Stargazing is a key aspect of noctourism, as the night sky becomes a canvas of constellations, planets, and even the Milky Way, away from the bright lights of cities. Deserts, mountains, and remote rural areas are ideal for such experiences, often paired with expert guides who share fascinating insights about astronomy. Some popular activities included in nature noctourism are night safaris, bioluminescence tours, moonlit hikes, bat watching, and firefly viewing. Exploring nature at night encourages people to slow down and connect deeply with their surroundings. It highlights the beauty and importance of the natural world, often leading to greater appreciation and awareness of conservation efforts. Additionally, noctourism can provide economic benefits to rural communities by supporting eco-tours and local guides.
