A concise academic definition of astrotourism in the Encyclopedia of Tourism. It traces the word ‘astro’ to the Greek ástron and the long history of sky observation — from Stonehenge and Chichén Itzá to the present — and fixes the canonical definition: tourism that uses the natural resource of unpolluted night skies for astronomical, cultural and environmental activities. Useful whenever a precise, citable definition is needed in a report or proposal.
