The growing trend of “noctourism” is reshaping the travel industry as more travelers seek unique nighttime experiences. With the aurora borealis and other celestial phenomena gaining popularity, destinations like Iceland, Norway, and Finland have become hotspots for viewing the Northern Lights. Luxury travel company Wayfairer Travel reported a 25% rise in noctourism experiences, driven by demand for Northern Light viewings in Norway and Iceland. Other popular activities include night diving in Australia and Egypt, nocturnal wildlife safaris in Africa, and stargazing in Chile's Atacama Desert. This trend is fueled by the current solar cycle’s peak, enhancing the visibility of the aurora borealis.
