Baboo Travel is highlighting a portfolio of sustainably designed travel itineraries to drive increased interest in astrotourism in 2026.
DOVER, DE, UNITED STATES, January 22, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Baboo Travel is highlighting a portfolio of sustainably designed travel itineraries aligned with major celestial events expected to drive increased interest in astrotourism in 2026, including a total solar eclipse in August and several peak meteor showers throughout the year.
The company works with local travel specialists worldwide and operates established itineraries in regions known for low light pollution and strong astronomical visibility, including northern Spain, Iceland, and Chile. These destinations are already part of Baboo Travel’s existing route network and are positioned to accommodate travelers seeking night-sky and eclipse-related experiences without relying on newly-created or untested programs.
A total solar eclipse on Aug. 12, 2026, will be visible from parts of Europe and the North Atlantic, while recurring meteor showers are expected to further increase demand for dark-sky travel. Baboo Travel said its long-standing presence in these regions allows it to offer access to remote viewing locations while managing visitor flow and environmental considerations.
The company noted that interest in night-sky travel has been growing steadily over the past two years, particularly among travelers seeking alternatives to peak-season destinations and overcrowded landmarks. According to Baboo Travel, inquiries related to eclipse-period travel for 2026 began increasing in 2025, earlier than typical long-haul planning cycles.
Among the itineraries highlighted:
– Northern Spain Eclipse & Culture Journeys, combining rural eclipse viewing locations with regional food, wine, and heritage experiences curated by local specialists.
– Iceland Aurora and Night-Sky Itineraries, designed for travelers visiting during different seasons, with accommodations selected for minimal light pollution and reduced environmental footprint.
– Chile’s Atacama and Elqui Valley Stargazing Routes, operating in areas internationally recognized for clear skies and astronomical research, including designated dark-sky sanctuaries.
Unlike traditional tour operators offering fixed departures, Baboo Travel works through a decentralized model in which itineraries are designed by local travel specialists who live in the destination. Routes, timing, and accommodations are adapted based on seasonal conditions, community capacity, and environmental factors, with the goal of reducing pressure on heavily trafficked areas.
“High-profile celestial events naturally attract attention, but how travelers experience them matters,” said Paul Sarfati, CEO of Baboo Travel. “Our focus is on responsible access, ensuring these journeys support local communities while minimizing environmental impact.”
Baboo Travel stated that its astro-tourism itineraries include carbon footprint assessments covering flights, accommodation, and ground transport. Emissions are offset through verified climate projects, with the company reporting that it exceeds calculated footprints as part of its sustainability commitments.
With accommodation availability expected to tighten in key viewing areas as 2026 approaches, Baboo Travel advised travelers interested in eclipse-related travel to plan well in advance.
