An international recognition with La Palma at its heart

The Stargazing Tourism Market Research Report 2033 highlights AstroLaPalma as one of the most relevant operators in the global astrotourism market.

This recognition is not only about a single company. It places the spotlight on La Palma’s protected night sky, showing how science, sustainability and tourism can successfully work together.

Why astrotourism is growing worldwide

As shown in the video, travelers are increasingly looking for:

  • Meaningful and authentic experiences

  • Opportunities to learn and understand nature

  • Destinations that protect their natural environment

Astronomical tourism brings all these elements together. With one of the darkest and most protected skies in the world, La Palma has naturally become a leading destination.

14 years sharing the sky from La Palma

Founded in 2011, AstroLaPalma has spent 14 years developing astrotourism experiences in La Palma, always combining scientific accuracy, education and respect for nature.

Led by astrophysicist and science communicator Ana García, the company has played an active role in positioning the island as a global reference for astronomical tourism.

Guided experiences under one of the world’s best skies

The international report highlights guided experiences as the most in-demand segment of astrotourism—and the video shows exactly why.

AstroLaPalma offers:

  • Guided stargazing experiences

  • Night sky interpretation walks

  • Astrophotography workshops

  • Visits to the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory

  • Educational and outreach programs

All activities are designed for the general public, combining accessibility with scientific rigor.

A recognition built on a long-term trajectory

This media appearance adds to a solid track record of awards and distinctions, including the Women with a Star Award (2017), the FITUR Award 2018 (shared award), and the Tourism Merit Award (shared recognition), as well as continuous Tripadvisor Certificates of Excellence.

Protecting, explaining and sharing the night sky

The video is not just about rankings or figures. It is about looking up, protecting the night sky, and helping others understand what they are seeing.

Because the true value of astrotourism lies not only in observing stars, but in creating a lasting connection with the place and the Universe.

We will keep working so you can take a little piece of the sky with you.
