Travelers who chase the sun wherever they go have embraced a new philosophy called solar tourism. It involves traveling to destinations known for their warmth and abundant sunshine.

Moreover, such trips typically include breathtaking and picturesque landscapes. So, what exactly is solar tourism, and what sets it apart along with its advantages? NewsBytes provided insights.

This emerging trend directs travelers' attention to countries with warm climates and mountainous regions. The key is to strike a balance to ensure comfort and enjoyment during the trip. Such destinations offer a variety of activities year-round, blending warm and cool temperatures.

Hoteliers have observed a growing demand for rooms with views of sunrise and sunset at their resorts and hotels. This trend is particularly noticeable in places like India, where travelers seek a combination of sun, mountains, and mild weather.

However, scientists raise concerns about whether the rising minimum temperatures are linked to the effects of global warming. For instance, in Shimla, the capital of the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh, there has been a noticeable decline in winter temperatures since 1970. While this worries locals, it attracts tourists in search of sunny destinations.
