Glamping resort Under Canvas has revealed that five of its camps across Urah and Arizona have been awarded the new “Dark Sky Resort” status by the non-profitrevealed
to be a “DarkSky Resort” in August 2023—the first of its kind in the world—with the DarkSky Approved Lodging Program officially unveiled in January.“All five of our desert southwest camps that connect the ‘Grand Circle Road Trip’ through Utah and Arizona are officially DarkSky-certified,” said May Lilley, Chief Marketing Officer of Under Canvas.
That makes dark places now highly sought-after travel destinations, though ironically the uptick in astrotourism means an increase in light pollution.“Today, astrotourism—in which travelers seek out destinations that offer ideal conditions for stargazing and observing celestial events—is one of the top travel trends in the world,” said Ruskin Hartley, Chief Executive Officer of DarkSky International.
The glamping resorts will seek to capitalize on the new status, with onsite telescopes and viewing events planned for full moon, new moon, and meteor shower peaks evenings, as well as star parties.
