The connection of tourism and science engaged the attention of travelers of all categories in the United States as a latest marvel. The Total Solar Eclipse of 2017 saw the involvement of nearly 7 million people, which also marked the commencement of the imminent big travel inclination, which is astro-tourism.
As the name puts forward, astro-tourism combines astronomy and tourism. It allows travelers to take part in stargazing under the skies without any light effluence. Of late, this latest tourism trend is gathering a lot of attention in a number of Indian cities too.
But before one embarks on a vacation appreciating the loveliness of the universe, there are a lot of things that one should know to make the most of the holiday.
Astro-tourism is a part of eco-tourism. It flourishes on ecological travel, attracting a mass of travelers to far-flung communities. Such a practice of tourism not only matches the prevailing common tourism types like adventure and wildlife tourism but is comparatively environment-friendly. The advent of astro-tourism in India is motivated additionally by the recent resourcefulness concerning the Ministry of Tourism for discussing and exploring ‘Nature-based Tourism.’ The idea was encouraged by the Ministry with the help of the webinar series, “DekhoApnaDesh.”
With collaborative work of the State and Union, preparations are underway to discover the unexploited prospective of rural villages as astro-tourism hotspots. For example, the Benital Village in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, positioned at 2,600 meters above sea level, is all set to become the Indian first astro-village.
