AB  - According to the latest data from the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), an
estimated 975 million tourists travelled internationally between January and September
2023, being on track to recover almost 90% of pre-pandemic levels. In a growing number
of tourism destinations (especially cities, and coastal and insular destinations), nightlife,
including music, cultural or light festivals, is an increasingly important element in the
selection process of destinations by tourists. For a not inconsiderable number of tourists,
evening and nighttime leisure and cultural activities are the central element in the
selection of their vacation destination. In this sense, the current boom of nighttime tourism
as key strategy for urban branding and destination marketing is growing all over the
world, as already pointed out in the introduction to this book as well as throughout the
chapter. Thus, it would not be risky to affirm that this boom would seem to indicate the
emergence of a golden age of nighttime tourism. However, there are different challenges
of greater or lesser magnitude that place the development of nightlife tourism in an
uncertain situation amidst an increasingly turbulent world. Thus, such a golden age might
not be as golden as it seems. This epilogue aims to shortly present some reflective notes
on each of these challenges, especially but not only affecting Europe’s urban areas and
coastal tourism destinations. On the other hand, although this epilogue focuses mainly on
the interaction between the nightlife industry and the tourism industry, the set of
reflections presented below are also valid for other activities that are important for the
development of nighttime tourism – such as light festivals and/or other outdoor cultural
activities carried out by tourists and visitors at night. Furthermore, what we intend to do
in this epilogue is to present these challenges as potential key points for a future
interdisciplinary research agenda on nighttime tourism.
