It used to be that people preferred to travel during the daylight hours and return to their hotels or homes as soon as it got dark. This pattern of tourism has changed significantly in recent times. Now, people want to enjoy traveling not only in sunlight but also in the moonlight.

This emerging trend of tourism is called night tourism or noctotourism. In this, people are choosing to visit tourist spots or participate in various activities at night. However, the question is why people are so interested in visiting tourist spots at night? Let's find out more.

Noctotourism emerged as a new trend in 2025. In addition to nightclubs or dinners, people are now also enjoying activities like visiting historical buildings, stargazing, or constellation tracking. People are also increasingly enjoying night safaris, where they enjoy watching wild animals in the dark. Additionally, night and light shows have also begun in many places, attracting a large crowd. Stargazing at the open sky at night, away from the hustle and bustle of cities, is also on many people's travel wish lists.

Why is this craze growing?
Relief from the heat and comfortable weather - In hot countries like India, walking under the scorching sun during the day can be tiring. The cool and pleasant night weather allows tourists to travel long distances and walk for hours without feeling tired.

A different and magical perspective - The same building that looks ordinary during the day appears completely different and magnificent under special night lighting. The play of light and shadows creates a unique visual experience that attracts photography enthusiasts.

Time saving - In today's hectic lives, people work during the day and prefer to explore the city at night. Night tourism allows them to make better use of their time.

Boosting the local economy – Night tourism is also beneficial for governments. When tourists stay overnight, they spend more on hotels, transportation, and local food. This increases local employment and doubles the revenue of tourist destinations.
