Over recent decades, municipal authorities have promoted their cities
as places boasting desirable night-time activities. Light festivals,
museum lates, nightclubbing, and night markets extend the typical
tourist experience into the night and have become a key part of the
way some cities are branded. This anthology draws together research
addressing the relationship between tourism and the night,
facilitating a better understanding of nocturnal city destinations.
Tourism and the Night: Rethinking Nocturnal Destinations covers an
array of different tourist activities taking place at night and a
range of European cities. The challenges facing late-night workers,
the relationship between tourists and residents, and the effects of
local policies on the expansion of late-night entertainment are
examined in the first part of the book. The latter part focuses on the
significance of night-time events, addressing the rising popularity of
light art festivals and established religious rituals. Ultimately,
this ground-breaking collection of papers examines how the night has
become an important setting for city tourism. This trend means there
is a need to rethink the management of urban districts and
destinations, but there are also important implications for our
understanding and experiences of the urban night. The chapters in this
book were originally published as a special issue in the Journal of
Policy Research in Tourism, Leisure and Events.
