From my book A Streak of Light
If you’ve been following travel trends lately, you may have come across a term called night tourism or noctourism.
And honestly? I’m here for it. As a travel writer, and as the creator of Ruby Diamond, I find that fascinating. Ruby spends much of her time watching the sky for signs and wonders, so perhaps it’s no surprise that night tourism has become one of my favorite travel trends.
Instead of planning holidays around beaches, museums, or shopping districts, more travelers are choosing destinations for what happens after dark. Think meteor showers, the Northern Lights, stargazing, lunar eclipses, bioluminescent beaches, and some of the world’s most spectacular dark-sky parks.
