Abstract

Scientific and cultural values attached to night skies are today explored by global astronomical tourism – a specialized form of tourism designed to observe starry skies. So far, astrotourism has reproduced Western concepts of astronomy and cosmology, while with the help of archaeo- and ethnoastronomy, tourists may also take account of native astronomies.​
